PREFACE. 

The study of family history is a subject growing in importance and in- 
terest from year to year, as the Hnes become more widely separated, and 
the individuals from whom reliable data may be obtained drift apart, and 
the "old homestead" becomes a memory of the past. Family traditions 
are easily lost in this era of hustling commercialism, and in order to pre- 
serve for future generations the records of the past and present the Familv 
Record has become a necessity, and well-nigh indispensable as a source of 
information. No one unacquainted with the detail of such an effort can 
fully appreciate the labor and time involved in the undertaking. 

Twelve years ago the compiler became much interested in collecting 
family records of the Brown family, with no thought of going further back 
than his great-grandfathers. As the work grew and others became inter- 
ested, -a starting-point was made with Thomas Brown, born in 1628, and 
his wife Mary Newhall, born in 1637, both of Lynn, Mass. Three of their 
sons, Thomas, John, and Eleazer, came to Stonington, Conn., about 1688. 
The town of Stonington was divided in 1807, ^-ud North Stonington was set 
off, with 2,700 inhabitants. The three brothers were in the southern part 
of North Stonington. From Wheeler's "History of Stonington" are taken 
four hundred numbers of the early descendants of the Brown family, taken 
from the town records of Stonington. There were many others also whose 
identity is lost, not being found on the Stonington town records. The de- 
scendants of these three brothers lived for about one hundred years in 
Stonington, removing to other towns adjacent in Connecticut and espe- 
cially New York State, which at that early date was comparatively a wilder- 
ness. 

While the greatest care has been taken to avoid errors, some undoubtedly 
have crept in, owing in part to the illegibility of some letters received; 
but subscribers may rest assured that the lines of descent are accurately 
given in all cases, and none has been inserted without proof. It is hoped 
that the volume will help to promote our family associations and bring in 
closer touch those of our kindred who are far aw'ay — and those near us, 
but still unknown. 

Some have written portions of the work in full; many have furnished 
facts and statistics that have been wrought into it. The author has been 



PREFACE 

assisted in this work by many, among whom should be mentioned Charles 
N. Brown, Esq., of Madison, Wis., who has been willing to sacrifice time 
and money in the effort to collect records and materially assist to complete 
the same for publication. His data begin with number 1216 and cover 443 
pages of typewritten records which he has furnished gratuitously for this 
Genealogy. Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Armstrong, of New London, Conn., in 
1895 suggested the compiling of these records, and have furnished financial 
aid towards the success of this work, and to them much credit is due. Mr, 
. S. Eugene Brown, of Poolville, N. Y., has rendered valuable assistance. 
Mr. Herbert F. Bennett, Bristol, R. I.; Mr. Hosmer A. Brown, Brownsdale, 
Minn.; Mr. John Wheeler Brown, Blue Mound, 111.; Miss Sarah A. Deni- 
son. Mystic, Conn.; Miss Ellen R. Baldwin, Westerly, R. I., formerly of 
Brookfield, N. Y.; James R. W^alsh, Esq., St. Paul, Minn., have rendered 
financial support. Space forbids mentioning by name the hundreds who 
have furnished records of one or several families. 

Many who look through this Record will be transported on the silent 
wings of memory to the home of their youth, with kindred and friends 
around them, and live over again those days they will never forget.

EXPLANATIONS. 

After the name of a parent \vill follow their original number in paren- 
theses; by turning backward, his or her number will be found with their 
parents. 

The children of parents who have numbers in parentheses at the right of 
their names can be found by corresponding numbers carried forward. 

After the name of the parents of the head of a family there will follow in 
brackets the names of the ancestors in genealogical order. 

The larger part of these records was obtained by correspondence, but 
town records, family Bibles, and tombstones have contributed much to 
these data. 



The Brown Genealogy. 

I. Thomas Brown, b., Lynn, Mass., 1628. His father was Nicholas 
Brown, who mentions his wife Ehzabeth and Brother Preserve in his will. 
Nicholas was the son of Edward Brown and Jane Leids, of Inkborrow, 
Worcestershire, England. 

Mary Newhall, the wife of Thomas Brown, was the dau. of Thomas 
Newhall, of Lynn, Mass. Her father was one of the earliest settlers in Lynn, 
and lived on the east side of Federal Street, a few rods south of the mill 
brook, owning all the land on that side between the turnpike and Marion 
Street. [Lynn, Lewis & Newhall, p. 482.] Mary Newhall, b. about 1637, 
m. Thomas Browne, of Lynn, who was b. about 1628, according to 
his deposition taken July 11, 1666. [Essex Co. Court Papers, B. XHL, 
L. 62.] He d. Aug. 28, 1693. His widow, Mary, was appointed admin- 
istratrix, Oct. 9, 1683, on the same day the nuncupative will of 
Thomas Browne was taken down (on file in the office of the Register of 
Probate in Salem). He names his eldest son, Thomas, and his sons Joseph, 
John, Daniel, and Ebenezer, and dau. Norwood. Two depositions cited 
by Waters, pp. 15 and 16, show her age. Her name first appears in records 
as wife of Thomas Browne in 1658. "Her husband was a dish-turner and 
was said to be of Grawton, Middlesex, in June, 1663, when he bought of 
William Longley his house lot (6 acres), bounded E. with lands of Richard 
Haven, W. with land of John Newhall, S. by Mill Street, and N. by the 
common." — Woters, p. 16. 

The Norwood referred to in the will of Thomas Brown was his dau. 
Mary (9), who m. Thomas Norwood, Aug. 24, 1685, and had six children: 
Francis, Ebenezer, Mary, Thomas, Mary, and Jonathan. 

Their children, b. Lynn, Mass.:

16. Daniel, b. Feb. i, 1676; bought out the rights of his three brothers, 

who came to Stonington and lived and died on the old Brown 
homestead in Lynn. 

Eight of this family of children died young and unmarried. Seven of 
them reached maturity. Four of them remained in Massachusetts, while 
three of them came to Stonington, Conn., before 1688. They purchased and 
received large tracts of land, most of which was located in the present town 
of North Stonington, bounded as follows: the western boundary was nearly 
all on Ossekonk Swamp, the northern bounds of which extended from the 
Ossekonk brook on the west to Shunnock River on the east, joining on the 
north the lands of the late Stephen Avery and lands of the Main family, to 
lands of the Randall family; easterly on the Randall land to the Richard- 
son's possessions; on the south by the Palmer family land and Miner terri- 
tory; and on the west by the Wheeler family land up to the said Ossekonk 
Swamp. Subsequent sales and purchases made by the Brown brothers, 
and the distribution of these lands as they and their successors have de- 
parted this life, have greatly changed their original possessions, and other 
families now dwell upon the same. 

John Brown (8) located his residence west of the site of the old Roswell 
Brown tavern years before the New London and Providence turnpike was 
built. 

On the above tract of land described is one of the oldest burying-grounds 
in the town, on the south of the cedar swamp from which this burying- 
ground takes its name. Before the New London and Providence turnpike 
was built a road passed by this ancient burying-ground, but after the 
building of the "pike" it was discontinued, making it one of the most se- 
cluded places that can be found to bury the dead. No interments have 
been made here for many years. Here are interred many of the early settlers, 
without headstones, and without any doubt two-of the pioneers, Thomas (2) 
and John (8), though it is to be regretted no headstones mark their last 
resting-place. This burying-place is on lands they originally purchased. 
Here are interred Ichabod Brown (309) and his wife Lucy (Palmer) Brown 
and many of their children, and all marked with marble headstones; also

Roswell Brown (171), who m. Esther Williams (31); Thatcher Brown (175), 
who m., after the death of his brother Roswell, his widow Esther Brown, nee 
Williams; Jedediah Brown (238) and his three wives. The name Williams, 
that of the great-grandmother of the compiler, is perpetuated by her de- 
scendants through many families down to Number 697. 

The remains of many have been removed to the Union Cemetery, and to 
Elm Grove Cemetery, Mystic, Conn.; and it is hoped that all others that 
are marked with headstones will be removed at no distant day to the Union 
Cemetery. 

Thomas Brown (2), son of Thomas Brown and Mary Newhall, of Lynn, 
Mass., b. Lynn. He d., Stonington, Dec. 27, 1723; interred at the Cedar 
Swamp, on lands first purchased by the three Brown brothers, and probably 
was among the first who were interred there. The grave is unmarked. He 
m. Hannah Collins, Feb. 8, 1677. He built his house about forty rods north- 
west of the " Pond Place" house on the Anguilla Road and thirty rods west 
of the road. The cellar is filled six feet above the ground with a large quan- 
tity of stones; and down the hill is a fine living spring of water, a natural 
place for a pioneer to build his house. His ten children, without doubt, 
were born here. Twenty-one months before his death he deeded to his son 
Daniel (24) a large tract of land one mile east from his homestead. [Copy 
of Will, Appendix II. Copy of Deed to his son Daniel (24), Appendix III.]

Site of P^leazer Brown's (11) House, witli the Brown 
Cemetery in the Background 



In this quiet place, above the ashes of the lontr-tinie dead are the tablets 
and monuments of many of the descendants of Eleazer Brown (II) and Ann 
Pendleton, his wife; and James Brown (38) and Elizabeth Randall, his wife. 
The monument of Elder Simeon Brown, reminding the passer-by of his long 
ministerial service, also serves as a reminder of the obligations which an illus- 
trious ancestry imposes upon their descendants, even to remote lands and to 
remote generations. Here are interred the children of Elder Simeon, except 
Elder Simeon, Jr., who is interred in Brookfield, N. Y.; James Brown and wife, 
and a number of his children and grandchildren ; Dolly Brown and husband, 
Asa Baldwin ; Jeptha Brown, wife and children ; Dea. Josiah and wife, 
Deborah Griffin, and many of their descendants; Mathew Brown and wife, 
Elizabeth, and their son Mathew and wife, Lucy A. Denison ; also Elder 
Eleazer Brown, pastor of the First Baptist Church ; and many others of lineal 
descent.

Pendleton Hill. M., first, Mary Breed, dau. of John and Mary (Palmer) 
Breed, June 21, 1721. She d. 1744. The marriage certificate says: "Mar-

to his son a tract of land about one mile east from his homestead [see origi- 
nal Deed, Appendix II.], nine months after his marriage to Mary Breed. 
Here Daniel and Mary built their house. The original site of the house is 
seen by the cut, where on the same spot Nathan (60), his son, erected a 
new house. -^^ 

We find that Daniel (24) removed to the north part of the town, near his 
son Capt. Christopher (59). He was active in church work, living in the 
immediate vicinity where the First Baptist Meeting-house was built; in 
Stonington he and Thomas Holmes gave the land on which it was erected. 
The church was organized in 1743. Probably the first interments on the 
Christopher Brown farm were his first wife, Mary (Breed) Brown, in 1744; 
afterwards, his second wife. Prudence, in 1768; Daniel, in 1771. Their 
headstones were imported from England. This burying-ground is enclosed 
by a heavy stone wall. Years ago this enclosure of the dead is said to have

port, R. I., from which place he came to Westerly as early as 1667, where 
the remainder of his life was spent. The Randall land was about four miles 
northeast of Stonington Borough, known as Angwilla and considered the 
finest land of the tow^n. These lands join on the north the lands of Thomas 
Brown (2), and have been in the Randall name as late as 1875. These

facts as to her descent were not ascertained at the time of the publication 
of the original volume, but have been conclusively established since.] Asa 
Brown served in the Revolutionary War. He was a private in Capt. James 
Arnold's company, the Ninth Continentals, and in Col. David Wooster's 
regiment. This regiment was raised in April and May, 1775, marched to 
New York in June, and encamped at Haarlem Sept. 28. Later it was in 
the Northern Department, operating along Lakes George and Champlain, 
assisted in the reduction of St. Johns in October, and afterwards proceeded 
to Montreal. He was discharged Nov. 28, 1775. He removed to Brook- 
field, Madison County, New York, about 1800, and settled on the farm 
afterwards owned by his son Williams. He d. Jan. 15, 1818, and his wife, 
Nov. 25, 1816. Both are buried in the private burial-lot of the family on

Capt. Daniel Brown (55) [Daniel (24), Thomas (2), Thomas], b., 
Stonington, Conn., Mar. 20, 1725. Resided in Stonington until his removal 
to Brookfield, N. Y. By some of his descendants he is said to have been a 
Quaker; by others, to have been a British officer. It is quite certain that 
neither of these conditions is correct. In Oct., 1763, the Assembly of Con- 
necticut among its acts established:" Mr. Daniel Brown, jun., to be Lieuten- 
ant of the 6th company or trainband in the town of Stonington." [XII. Conn. 
Col. Rec, p. 195]. In Oct., 1769, the Assembly estabhshed him as captain 
in the same company. [XIII. Conn. Col. Rec, p. 244.] No other person is 
known who could have been the person referred to in the acts in question. 
He is referred to as Capt. Daniel in the records of those families who have 
N the tradition that he was a Quaker. No record exists of any service in the 
/ Revolutionary War. He was the first settler in the town of Brookfield, 
Madison County, N. Y., locating there in 1791, his house having been com- 
menced on July 4 of that year. An account of Capt. Daniel Brown and his 
family will be found in "The History of Chenango and Madison Counties," 
edited by James H. Smith and published by D. Mason & Co., of Syracuse, 
1880, and in Mrs. Hammond's "History of Madison County." He m., 
first, in Stonington, Theody Park, of Groton, Conn., by whom he had two 
children: 

178. Daniel, b. Feb. 17, 1751. He removed to Genesee, Allegany

He m., second, Abigail Crarey, by whom he had twelve children, three 
sons and nine daughters. Such was their extraordinary stature that it was 
said that Capt. Brown had "sixty feet of daughters." One of his waggish 
descendants used to say, by way of explanation, that Capt. Brown had six 
daughters^ each ten feet in height. Tales are still told among their descend- 
ants of the wonderful strength of Isaac and of the wonderful vitality of 
Nathan. On one occasion Nathan was caught under a fallen tree. His 
brother alone lifted the tree which five men were unable to move, and 
Nathan, although terribly injured, and given up by the doctors, was out in 
six weeks. A tall clock which certainly belonged to Nathan, and probably 
belonged to his father, is in the possession of Ralph W. Brown, of Norwalk, 
O. One of the descendants, being asked as to the religious beliefs of the 
family, says: "Few of the family have connected themselves with any spe- 
cial church denomination. But the one motto which has passed from father 
to son down through the years, painted on a silver background with letters 
of gold, set with diamonds, rubies, and precious stones, is, ' Do unto others 
as ye would others should do unto you.' Impressed on the mind, and in- 
stilled in the heart, this makes a pretty good religion."

using portions of the timber for rebuilding the present house on the same 
site. It is four miles from Westerly, R. I., on the No. Stonington road. 
This house and farm have always been occupied by some member of the 
Brown family, and were a part of the original purchase, and deeded by 
Thomas (2) to his son Daniel (24). [Appendix III.] Here on this farm he 
spent his whole life, ninety-one years. About a mile distant, in full view from 
this house, is the Union Cemetery, where he and his wife and manv of the 
branches of the family are interred'.

24 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

this can be inferred — and it is believed the inference is right — that she 
was a very superior woman in intellect and sweetness of disposition. No 
ordinary woman could have left after her death that secret and potent in- 
fluence which keeps a name alive in a family through so many generations. 
The occurrence of the name in so many families is the very strongest evi- 
dence of her great worth, her marked individuality and character. Her 
blood flows in her descendants, and they recognize and glory in the fact by 
preserving her maiden name. It is noticeable, as it appears even to the 
present time.

Dec. 12, 1826, Elizabeth Stewart Babcock [49 Babcock Record], b., No. 
Stonington, Dec. 28, 1806; d., No. Stonington, Sept. 22, 1886. She was 
an affectionate mother and a most estimable woman, and was loved by all 
who had her acquaintance. 

Dea. Brown spent his whole life in his native town, and was a farmer and 
tradesman, dealer in poultry and wool. The townspeople found in him an 
honest, trustworthy man from whom to purchase their products. His busi- 
ness also took him beyond the limits of the town, thus he was universally 
known in adjacent towns. In 1857 and i860 he was chosen to represent the 
town in the General Assembly of the State. He was also on the Board of 
Selectmen of the town; deacon of the Second Baptist Church of his native 
town, and a zealous Christian worker; a man of strong character, high ideals, 
and unwavering devotion to duty, generous and charitable. Among the 
last acts of his public duties were to assist in putting in the bank wall and 
hanging the gates in front of the Union Cemetery, which is the place of in- 
terment of many of the descendants of the three Brown brothers.

His Revolutionary record: Mr. Joshua Brown was a Lieutenant in Capt. 
Thomas Holmes' Company of the 8th Regt., Col. Oliver Smith com- 
manding; Brigadier-Gen. Saltinstall's Brigade. He enlisted Sept. 8, 1776; 
discharged Nov. 17, 1776; in the campaign around New York. 

Joshua Brown (77) bought his farm of Robert Williams in 1786, and from 
the north part of the town came here to live, with his family. There was only 
a partially built house on the farm. The east half was used for a dwelling; 
the west part, not completed, sheltered the cattle in cold weather. This 
part, later, was finished with two stories in front and a slanting roof on the 
back. Some time later, the rear was built up to compare with the front, as 
seen in the picture. In this house lived their son Randall (289), who m. 
Sally Palmer; and a few years later his son Randall, Jr. (3837), who m. 
Mary A. Holmes, went to housekeeping here. The name Randall has come 
down from one generation to the next from Elizabeth Randall, b. July 4, 
1696, the mother of Joshua Brown. This house was removed in 1878, and a 
house with all modern improvements adorns this beautiful location. On 
this farm have lived the direct descendants of Joshua and Joannah (Rogers) 
Brown for one hundred and twenty years. The present owners and occu- 
pants, in 1906, are Jeremiah (Jerry) H. (3846), Fanny Ella (3849), who m. 
Charles B. Palmer, also the widow of Frederic H. (3850), Mrs. Amelia 
(Shaffer) Brown. Joshua Brown and his son Randall had slaves on this 
farm, and they cleared a piece of land and walled it in for a garden that was

DEATH OF A REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOT. 

Died at his residence in Pittstown, N. Y., on Saturday the nth day of June, inst., 
of apoplexy, Jonathan Brown, Esq., aged eighty-three years, a venerable patriot of the 
Revolution and one of the earliest settlers of Rensselaer county. Judge Brown was a 
native of Stonington, Conn., and emigrated at an early period to the State of New 
York, and settled in Pittstown, in this county, previous to the Revolutionary War. 

When this eventful and glorious struggle commenced which resulted in the estab- 
lishment of our national independence, he did not hesitate to serve his country in the 
capacity of a soldier. 

When he entered the army he held an ensign's commission in a company attached 
to the regiment commanded by Col. Anthony Van Schaik, stationed during Burgoyne's 
celebrated campaign, in 1777, on Van Schaik's Island, near the confluence of the Hud- 
son and Mohawk rivers, opposite the village of Lansingburgh. In the month of Au- 
gust of that year liis command was ordered to aid General Stark, and he had the good 
fortune to be present at the battle of Bennington. He was also present at the battle of 
Bemis Heights, and the surrender of Burgoyne, which occurred during the same cam- 
paign. At the close of the war he received a Major's commission by the recommenda- 
tion of General Washington. 

Judge Brown held the office of Sheriff of Albany county under the old organization 
of counties. He afterwards repeatedly represented the county of Rensselaer in our 
State Legislature, and was many years Judge of our County Courts. He was also for 
a long period the agent of General Ten Broek and General Rensselaer for the sale of 
manor lands. 

David Brown (3536), son of James (66) and Abigail (Utley) Brown 
[Jonathan (28), John (8), Thomas], b. July 2, 1758; d. Sept. 14, 1825; m., 
Jan. 8, 1786, Lydia Miner; d. Sept. 23, 1854, aged ninety-five years. He 
was a Revolutionary soldier; his widow received a pension. [Records of

MEMORIES 

MRS. HOSMER A. BROWN 

I 'm sitting to-night in my prairie home, 

And the purple twilight flings 
Its dusky folds round the sadden'd soul 

Where memory sits, and sings 

47 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

Of the days of my sunny-hearted youth, 
That passed on downy wings. 

She brings me dreams of my far-off home: 

The tree close up by the door; 
I bend my ear to catch the sound 

Of the waterfall's muffled roar; 
And watch, where the lilies at anchor ride, 

For the dip of the flashing oar. 

I forget that beneath the homestead roof 

Stranger voices the echoes awake. 
'T is a dream — the loved and the lost are there. 

With heart too full to speak, 
Again I kiss the lines of care 

On brow and furrowed cheek. 

My brother, with his golden hair 

Swept back from a brow like light; 
How plain, across the mists of years, 

He rises to my sight! 
His Hps still wear their olden smile. 

His eye its sunny Ught. 

One night his feet grew weary. 

He closed his earnest eyes; 
And when morning walked the hilltops 

He was singing in Paradise. 
And echoes roll round my haunted soul 

From out the starry skies. 

And one — Oh! softly speak her name, 

.\nd reverently, and low; 
She walks upon eternal hills 

Where stainless hlies blow; 
But just within the pearly gates 

She waits for me, I know. 

Her saintly face shines on me still 

Through the twilight calm and clear; 
I bend my ear to the sighing wind. 

Her voice I seem to hear; 
It whispers "Peace" to my waiting soul. 

And I know that she is near. 

Ah well, I shall meet them all again 

When I reach that shore unknown. 
With its wondrous city, pearly gates. 

And everlasting throne.

Kingstown, R. I., Nov. 26, 1835, Daniel Rodman, Sen., b., Wakefield, R. I.,

Mary A. Gardner, b. Jan. 19, 1781. In his youth Daniel Rodman was en- 
gaged in farming, but during the winter months he gave his time to learning 
the processes of woolen manufacture. In 1843 ^e purchased his estate of 
"Mooresfield," where he settled for life, and carried on the manufacture of 
kerseys in his two mills, one at Mooresfield and one at Glenrock. Here at 
Mooresfield, in his quiet and secluded but beautiful home, Mr. Rodman 
spent the last forty-six years of his life. He owed his success in business to 
his industry, perseverance, and economy, coupled with these two precepts: 
"What little you'do, do well." " Be careful in making business engagements; 
be more careful in fulfilling them."

She was greatly beloved as wife, mother, and Christian woman. Her chil- 
dren and grandchildren were the crowning glory and dearest solace of her 
life, and her last words, as she was thinking of them, were: "I must leave 
them, but I have led them aright" — parting words never to be forgotten.

benevolent; his home was radiant with good cheer and sunshine. He was 
of commanding presence, his fine face expressing his strength of character 
and keen intellect. His wife was educated in the public schools, and in 
Miss Whiting's School for Young Ladies, in Charlestown, Mass., and the 
Connecticut Literary Institution at Sufifield, Conn. She was a true, loving 
companion, that "looked well to the ways of her household." In person 
she was very erect, with a graceful form, her hair untouched by age; unsel- 
fish in character, noble and consistent. Above all, both were earnest Chris- 
tians, members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Westerly. They 
passed away ten months apart, the community sustaining an irreparable 
loss.

Army record of John B. Brown: Enlisted Aug. 11, 1862, No. Stoning- 
ton, Co. G, 2ist Conn. Regt. Vol.; mustered into United States service at 
Norwich, Conn., Sept. 5, as 2d Sergeant. Regiment assigned to 9th Army 
Corps Oct. 9, at Pleasant Valley, Md. Oct. 28 the long march from Pleasant 
Valley to Falmouth, Va., began (175 miles in twelve days). Without tents 
during the entire winter, exposed to terrible storms, and lying at night on 
the frozen ground or in the mud of Virginia, with no covering other than 
blankets, very scanty and thin, was an experience which tested the mettle 
and tried to the utmost the endurance of every man — and planted the 
seeds of disease and death which produced such a harvest on the plains of 
Falmouth, and gave to its camp the appropriate name of "Camp Death." 
He participated in the battle of Fredericksburg Dec. 13, 1862. Promoted 
to ist Sergeant Mar. 6, 1863; was in the siege of Suffolk, Va., Apr. 11 to 
May 4. In June the regiment joined the expedition to White House Land- 
ing, and on its return he was assigned to provost duty at Portsmouth, and 
later at Norfolk, Va., covering about five months in the two cities. Being 
relieved from duty, the regiment was ordered to Newport News, Va., on 
Jan. 24, 1864. Mr. Brown was one of a detail which made a successful raid 
upon Brandon Farms, on the James River, capturing and destroying large 
quantities of Rebel supplies. Feb. 3 the regiment took transports for More- 
head City, N. C, and thence to Newport Barracks and Little Washington, 
N. C. After aiding in repelling the enemy in these localities, it was ordered 
to Newbern, N. C, where it remained until April, and then was ordered to 
Portsmouth, Va.; thence to Bermuda Hundred on the James River, and 
on May 16 it participated in the battle of Drewry's Bluff, Co. G being 
ordered to the picket line at 4 o'clock a.m. At this time the total number of 
officers and men for duty was twenty-nine. Upon the regiment devolved 
the duty of holding in check the massed forces of the enemy at a critical 
point in the battle, and it was under a constant fire for six hours, which cost 
the company sixteen officers and men killed, wounded, and missing. May 
31, Mr. Brown was promoted to 2d Lieutenant, and participated in the 
battle of Cold Harbor; also at the commencement of the battle of Peters- 
burg. He was honorably discharged June 14, 1864.

A CLEAR CASE. 

On ancestry the talk had turned, 
And some their record clear discerned 
Back to that noble company 
Who bravely crossed a stormy sea, 
Defying doubt, all fear above. 
To found the land we know and love; 
Another, proud descent could trace 
From knight, and lady fair of face; 
Another, lineage make known 
From one who sat upon a throne. 
Cried Jack, "You 're all so very new. 
Awfully verdant is your hue; 
Straight came I from the primal pair 
Who dwelt in Eden blest and fair! 
How do I know it? Oh, 't is clear: 
Just by the way their traits appear — 
Sure my people all have had 'em; 
Full am I of that old Adam ! "

Ralph Isham Brown (765) lived on his father's farm, attending the dis- 
trict school in the winter, and while very young he taught two or three terms 
in the common schools. In the spring of 1822 there was a powerful revival 
of religion in No. Stonington, Conn., during which hundreds were brought 
to a knowledge of the truth. In this revival Ralph became converted and 
joined the First Baptist Church, at the age of eleven years. The meeting- 
house was only half a mile from his home, of which more will be said in an- 
other part of this book. He was studious, improving his mind with what 
books he could get. Eight years after his conversion he related his views of 
duty to the church and was granted a license to preach the gospel early in 
1830, when about eighteen years of age. He spent only a few months in the 
vicinity of home, preaching with great acceptance, and then went to the 
Baptist Literary and Theological Seminary, Hamilton, N. Y., to prepare 
for the ministry. Rev, Bradley Miner said of him that he was a young man 
of deep piety, highly esteemed by all who knew him; and at the age of 
twenty-two years he had preached one hundred and twenty-five times, in 
connection with his studies and teaching. While teaching at Norwich, 
N. Y., he wTites to his mother, under date of Feb. 12, 183 1; at this time his 
father had passed away, five months before. The following is a short ex- 
tract from this letter: 

"The scenes of my childhood are fresh to my recollection, and time will 
not easily efface them. In my imagination I am transported to the home of 
my youth, and seated around the fireside with those whom I shall never 
forget. But, oh ! recollection soon assumes her empire, and I find myself far 
away from home, immured within the walls of a schoolhouse, and surrounded 
by a number of mischievous scholars. My mind often lingers upon those 
happy seasons when we surrounded the family altar, read a portion of God's 
Holy Word, and joined in humble prayer. At such times the Holy Spirit 
was there, and I often felt myself filled with love divine. Oh, tell me not 
that happiness is a resident in scenes of merriment — in walls of worldly 
pleasure!" 

Two years pass away at school in Hamilton, and he had planned six years 
more of study; but in order to pay his expenses he must teach a portion of 
the time. In the summer of 1833 ^^- Brown was invited to become the 
Principal of the Seminary for Young Ladies in Pawtuxet, R. I., which was 
then about to be opened. He consented, with the understanding that he 

107 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

should continue to occupy that situation for one year only, when he ex- 
pected to resume his studies. In two short months he was stricken with a 
fever and passed away. His mother and sister Mary were at his bedside in 
Pawtuxet, There was great lamentation for him in Pawtuxet, in Hamilton, 
and in his native town, that one of so much promise had been so suddenly 

taken away. 

" Time, like an ever-rolling stream, 
Bears all its sons away; 
They fly, forgotten, as a dream 
Dies at the opening day."

soon after passed away, leaving no issue.

dau. of Bell and Ruth (Main) York. 

Record of marriage from the Stonington records: Simeon Brown, Jr., 
Oct. 22, 1767, to Ruth York. Married by me, Simeon Brown Elder. 

Elder Brown, as he was afterwards called, moved with his family, in May, 
1792, to the wilderness of New York. The year previous he went on horse- 
back to Albany, N. Y., and procured a deed of land in the town of Brook- 
field. During the summer he made a clearing and built a log house, and in 
the autumn returned to his family in Stonington. The following May, with 
his wife and children in an ox-cart and he on horseback, they began their 
long and perilous journey to Brookfield. [For further account, and history 
of the Church of Brookfield, N. Y., see Appendix XI.]

894. Phebe, b. Dec. 23, 1787; d. Apr. 23, 1875 (1056-1060). 

The early training of these children was in their New England home in 
Stonington — not only from father and mother, but also from grandfather 
and grandmother, for this indefatigable man of God had not only gathered 
a church, but built a house of worship, largely by his courage and energy 
and with his own hands. Here these grandchildren listened to the gospel as

it fell from his anointed lips. This fact must not be forgotten, for Ruth, the 
oldest, was twenty-four years old, and Phebe, the youngest, was five years 
old, when they emigrated to Brookfield. Thus in their childhood days began 
the development of Christian life and character which continued, with in- 
creasing activities, in their new pioneer home and is characteristic of their 
descendants to the present time. 

Ruth Brown (888), dau. of Elder Simeon (275) and Ruth (York) Brown, 
b., Stonington, Conn., 1768; d., Brookfield, N. Y., July 26, 1836. She never 
married; lived in Brookfield, and had for her share of the home farm the 
part lying south of the turnpike, on which was a living spring of water 
called "Aunt Ruth's Spring" long after her death. In her young woman- 
hood she was surrounded by an atmosphere of Christian love and fellow- 
ship, and in maturer years her home was full of sunshine and good cheer, 
and her name has been perpetuated from generation to generation, until 
descendants by the name of Ruth are counted by the score.

He knows our sins, our doubts, our fears — 
The silent prayer, the falling tears. 

Our love, our all, He knows! 
God knows and rules our lives and thoughts; 
He fills the longings in our hearts; 
He bears the sorrows in our life. 
And crowns with victory the strife. 
With love He heals our sins and fears, 
And gently dries the falling tears. 

Oh, blessed thought, God knows!

His boyhood was spent in his native town, vvhere he attended the pubUc 
and private schools. After living a short time in Stonington and Putnam, 
Conn., from the latter place he was reported dead (having been critically ill). 
An obituary notice of great length and fulsome praise was published in the 
local papers, a copy of which is kept for the true finale. He entered the 
army in August, 1862, as Sergeant of Co. G, 21st Conn. Vol.; was after- 
wards promoted to ist Lieutenant in the same regiment, and served until 
the close of the war on the staff of Gen. Charles Devens, at the Headquarters 
of the 3d Division of the 24th A. C, as Acting Engineer, officer, and Chief 
of Pioneers. He was among the first to enter the Confederate Capitol on 
the morning of the third of April, 1865, and the first officer, not a prisoner, 
to enter Libby Prison. He became a pensioner for disabilities received during 
the war; but not until over twenty years after its close would he make appli- 
cation, and then only on account of increasing infirmities. Nearly his whole 
life has been spent in his present occupation, contracting painter, during 
which time he has executed many of the largest jobs between New Haven, 
Conn., and Providence, R. I., including the decorating of the interior of 
many public buildings and private residences. He feels his greatest satisfac- 
tion in having lived to perpetuate to this generation, by a short period of 
service in the army, the patriotism of his great-grandfather John Stanton, 
who was b. in Stonington, Conn., May 13, 1736, and at his death bore the 
marks of seventeen bullet-wounds, received in the French and Indian War 
and the war of the American Revolution.

Anna Brown (183b), sister of the preceding, m., Connecticut, Nov. i, 
1 78 1, Nathan Stewart, son of Nathan Stewart and Barbara (Palmer) 
Stewart; b., Stonington, Conn., Feb. 20, 1769; d., Brookfield, N. Y., Apr. 
30, 1850. It is related among some of his descendants that the marriage of 
Nathan Stewart to Anna Brown gave offence to his family, and was the 
cause of his leaving Connecticut, where the Stewart homestead had de- 
scended from father to the oldest son, according to the English custom. 
The reason given is that her father, Capt. Daniel Brown, was a British 
officer. It is quite certain that this part of the story is unfounded, and is 
based on a misapprehension, and it may be that the whole story is equally 
doubtful. Some of the oldest and best informed of his descendants have 
never heard the tradition. His father-in-law is said to have offered him fifty 
acres of land and provisions for a year if he would remove with him to the 
wilds of Central New York. He removed to Brookfield shortly after Capt. 
Daniel located there, and added to his holdings of real estate so that at the 
time of his death he owned a farm of about one hundred and forty acres. 
All his children were born in Brookfield, except Isaac, who was born in 
Stonington.

Asa Brown (128) [Asa (123), Ichabod (32), John (8), Thomas], b., Ston- 
ington. Conn., July 13, 1768; d. ,RichfieId, N. Y., June 23, 1861; m., Jan. 
15, 1795, by Rev. Michiah Porter, pastor of the church in Voluntown, Conn., 
to Lucy Dow, dau. of Benjamin Dow and Mary Killam. Benjamin Dow 
lived in that part of Voluntown which was cut off to form the town of Ster- 
ling. He was a sergeant in the War of the Revolution, and was a man of 
importance and standing in the community, serving as Town Clerk, Town 
Treasurer, etc. Asa and his brother Oliver had visited Brookfield, N. Y., 
in 1794, on a visit, it is said, to their aunt, Keturah Brown York, who had 
emigrated thither from Stonington. They decided to settle there; and as 
soon as the roads were passable after their marriage, Asa and Lucy started 
for their new home, he with an ox-team and a wagon loaded with house- 
hold furniture, and she on horseback, carrying in her hands a few things 
too precious to be trusted in the springless wagon, among them a mirror 
which is even now one of the cherished treasures of her daughter Maria. 
They made their way through the wilderness by marked trees, crossing the 
river at Unadilla Forks, N. Y., into the town of Brookfield, and setding on a 
farm some two miles further on, where Asa built a large two-story frame 
house. He was a good carpenter and cabinet-maker, and as there was 

322 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

little money in circulation he made furniture, which he exchanged for 
cattle, grain, and the various things needed for the household. In this 
way they purchased the tall family clock with its inlaid frame, one of the 
first load of clocks brought from Connecticut to Brookfield. It was said 
that there was not a house in Brookfield but had some of his furniture, and 
every piece well made. The Dows and the Browns of Stonington used 
occasionally to exchange visits with the Dows and the Browns of Brook- 
field and Richfield. It was a seven days' drive from Brookfield to Sterling, 
and as postal communication was uncertain and expensive, these periodical 
visits were utilized for sending letters backwards and forwards. Asa's 
health failing for a time, he moved to Unadilla Forks about 1814, and served 
as constable while living there. In Brookfield, Asa and his wife had united 
with the Baptist Church, being baptized by Rev. Simeon Brown, and were 
among the charter members of the Baptist Church in Unadilla Forks. 
While visiting her uncle. Col. Dow, in Mayflower, Otsego Co., N. Y., they 
bought a farm east of Mayflower post-office on the Cherry Valley Turnpike, 
the leading thoroughfare and the stage-road from Albany to Buff'alo, about 
three miles distant from the present town of Richfield Springs, N. Y. They 
moved to this farm in 1818. They raised flax, and the daughters spun and 
wove the household linen and the family clothing. They spun and dyed 
and wove the wool for their best gowns and for their brothers' best suits. 
Once a year a tailor came for a few days and cut and fitted the best and 
finest garments. When Asa, the oldest son, married, his father built a 
house across the road, to which he moved, leaving the old house and the 
larger part of the farm to his son. Later his son Benjamin bought the farm 
adjoining. In their later years they were cared for by their daughter Maria. 
After two years of failing health Lucy died. Mar. 31, 1854. Asa Brown re- 
tained much vigor of mind and body to the last, dying in his ninety-third 
year, Jan. 23, 1861. They are buried in the Presbyterian churchyard at 
Richfield Springs. 
Children: 

2852. Lucy, b. Oct. 25, 1795; d. Oct. 13, 1836. She was ever the 

faithful elder daughter and sister, doing much for the com- 
fort of the family, and looking wisely after the matters which 
concerned the welfare of all. While helping at her brother 
Benjamin's, in time of sickness, she was taken suddenly too 
ill to be moved to her home next door, and died there in 
three days. She was a faithful worker in the Baptist Church, 
with which she united when a young woman.

his wife are members of the First Baptist Church. She was educated at

addressed to her by her son-in-law, Frank Duane Moore, on the occasion of 
her fifty -second birthday: 

As I sit in dreamy silence 

Down beside the moonlit shore, 
Gazing out across the water, 

Pondering life's problem o'er, 
How those rolling waves impress me. 

Those huge billows of the gale ! 
They bring havoc to hfe's journey; 

They 're the means thro' which we fail. 

If the voyager cross the ocean. 

He must stem the swelUng tide, 
He must overcome the billows 

O'er which he would safely glide. 
He can never gain his port 

Floating solely at the will 
Of the rolling, surging waters. 

Or by waiting till they 're still. 

So it is in life's great voyage: 

All must cross the restless sea. 
Where barks were wrecked for ages, 

Where others yet will be; 
For the way is dark and treach'rous. 

Waves of sin each side abound, 
And it needs a sturdy pilot. 

Else the bark will run aground. 

Our boat must be well ballasted 

With Truth and rudder'd secure 
With Jesus Christ for pilot. 

If we 'd have our voyage sure. 
Then we '11 launch our craft in safety, 

Mount with zeal each swelling crest. 
Overcome all life's temptations. 

Glide into the "Haven of Rest."

wife. After a long struggle he sold his stock and farming-utensils and went 
to Hamilton, where he entered the Theological Seminary there, supporting 
his family by working a farm, studying in the meantime. He graduated in 
1836. He then removed to Northern Ohio. Feeling that he was called to 
preach the gospel to the poor, he settled in Norwalk. His wife kept boarders 
and he preached to feeble churches and assisted in protracted meetings. 
Later he moved to New Haven, O.; his father sent him a team of horses 
and a wagon, and he used to haul for merchants from Huron on the lake to 
New Haven, there being no railroads. His wife and daughters bound shoes 
for two shops to eke out the slender income. He continued to preach to 
feeble churches, from whom he received occasional donations. After about 
six years he was called to be pastor at Monroeville for one year, and here

had been on the farm a month his wife died. Two years afterwards he

well qualified to judge says of him, "If the good alone are great, he was a 
great man; for he was truly one of the best of earth, and his name in all that 
region is a hallowed memory."

was generous in its support. A few years after the war he moved to 
Cleveland and engaged in the wholesale and retail lumber business, 
establishing the well-known firm of M. G. Browne & Co., and became

Church of the New Jerusalem, having had lifelong longings for the sacred 
ofl&ce. He accepted a call to the society of that Church in Cleveland, and 
ministered to them during the remainder of his life. He had that clear in- 
sight into spiritual things which makes the true minister, and that love of 
saving souls which makes the true priest. One near and dear to him by 
right of intimate knowledge of his daily life thus writes: "Long before he 
was a priest in reality he was one at heart. He was always his own simple, 
honest, lovable self, perfectly genuine, exactly what he appeared to be. The 
memory of his beautiful life will always be an inspiration to us." Another 
says of him: "He loved everybody, and everybody loved him." He was a 
member of the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion. His widow resides 
part of the time in Boston, Mass., and part of the time in her old home in 
Lakewood, O.

Bern, March 30th, 181 2. 
My Son: — 

Agreeable to your request, I send you some of the particulars you enquire after. I 
was born at .Stonington, Conn., Nov. 22d, 1748, old style, answering to the 3d December, 
new style. My father descended from one of three brothers, that immigrated from 
Lynn, near Boston, England, perhaps 150 years ago, they were some of the first settlers. 

My mother was the daughter of John Chapman, who came from England, and mar- 
ried his wife in this country. My grandfather and grandmother Brown, my grand- 
mother Chapman, and my father's brothers, all died before my remembrance. My 
grandfather Chapman died when I was about 10 years old, and my father when I was 
about 8 years old, and left 4 sisters, all married, and had families. My mother died 
when I was about 18 years old, and left 4 brothers, and i sister, all married, and had

A Leaf from the Family Bible of Andrew Brown (126) 







The set of china of whic-h this cup and saucer were originally a part con- 
sisted of twelve cups and saucers, twelve custard-cups, a tea-pot, sugar-bowl, 
cream-jug, slop-bowl, two cake-plates, and a tray. 

It was bought in Baltimore, about the year 1S20, by Nathan Stewart, who, 
with his daughter, Elizabeth, stopped in the city for some time. They lodged 
in the house of an Irishwoman of the "reduced gentlewoman" type, who owned 
this and a (juantity of other china. She sold the set to Nathan Stewart for fifty 
dollars. In 1S-2+ the china was billed to Arnold R., Daniel B., and Elizabeth 
Stewart, who lived together at Middlebury, Ohio In 1902 this bill was .still in 
existence, and in the possession of Frances Hinkley, of Ripon, Wisconsin, a 
niece of Elizabeth Stewart. 

Upon Elizabeth Stewart's death, in 1S7S, the china was bought by her 
sister, Abby Stewart Perry, who kept one-half of the pieces, giving the re- 
mainder to the third sister, Emiice Hinkley, excepting only one piece, which 
was given to Anna Maria Wright, of Cleveland, a half-sister. 

The daughters of Eunice Hinkley, Elizabeth Burdick and Frances Hinkley, 
inherited their mother's share of the china; and in November, 1902, they gave 
the cup and saucer illustrated to Jennie Stewart Briggs, of Los Gatos, Cali- 
fornia. The photograjjh of this china was made in December, 1902, at West 
Union, Iowa, by Bertha Stewart Quigley. 

At the time of the purchase by Nathan Stewart, in 1820, the seller declared 
the china to be sixty years old. This was probably not true, as the decoration 
marks it as of the period of the Empire. The ware is exquisite — fine and thin. 
The color is an intense cobalt blue, traced all over with grapes, leaves, and 
tendrils in burnished gold. The medallions have each a different subject, but 
all represent the use of some musical instrument. The color on the cheeks of 
the figures is so vivid that it appears black in the photograph. The ware is not 
marked, but is probably Sevres. 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

families. Two of the brothers, I suppose, are living yet in Westerly, in Rhode Island; 
the rest of my uncles and aunts, I expect, are dead, although they lived to a good old 
age, and have left a numerous offspring. One thing is worthy of observation, there have 
been none of my predecessors or cotemporaries that could be said to be rich, and none 
(with very few exceptions) that could be accounted poor, but almost a uniformity of 
mediocrity prevailed, and all were good livers. 

Your mother was born September 30th, 1750, old style; her father, Henry Cobb, had 
one brother, Hallett, who left one daughter only, so that the name of Cobb, in Stoning- 
ton, belongs exclusively to his family, with which you are well acquainted. Your 
grandmother Cobb, was the daughter of Col. Oliver Babcock of Westerly, who lived 
to the age of about 95 years; your mother and I were at his funeral about 39 years ago. 
Your grandmother Cobb, died when your mother was young, and your grandfather 
Cobb, died when your brother Edward was about one year old (1772). 

You will no doubt be surprised when you are informed of the manners and customs 
that prevailed 50 or 57 years ago. There is more expended in the clothing of i child 
under the age of 10 or 12 years now, than was then expended on 3 or 4 by parents of 
like abilities, their manner of living, if not cheaper, was different. The common method 
then of entertaining afternoon visitors was treating them by making doughnuts and 
pancakes, with sweet cider, and butter, and cheese. Some, in the room of spreading 
tables would spread a cloth on a chair with their victuals on it. Some more extrava- 
gant, would have coffee and chocolate, but as to tea, tea kettles, tea cups and saucers, 
they would have been almost as great a wonder, as it would now to see an Egyptian 
Pyramid or one in miniature formed by a cook for the entertainment of company. 
Wooden trenchers were then almost universally used in the room of plates to eat from, 
and many other things were then in practice of a similar nature, too numerous to be 
inserted in a letter. 

By this time, no doubt, you will expect my own history up to your own remembrance. 
I informed you that my father died when I was about 8 years old. I then lived with 
my brother Ichabod, until I was about 16 years old, and worked at farming. The school 
learning which I had was but small, having no schools only in the winter, and them 
seldom less than two or three miles distant from home. I went to school but little, and 
as to paper, I do not think I ever had half a quire bought for me, or a penknife, or an 
inkstand, except what I bought with my own money, which I had no other way of ob- 
taining, but to gain time, and pick up chestnuts and walnuts, and sometimes raise a few 
bushels of turnips, &c. You may well think that I learned to be prudent, for I then 
set more by one sheet of clean paper, than I ever done by a ream since I was able to 
purchase by that quantity. 

At the age of 16 I agreed to serve two years and two months apprenticeship at the 
cooper's trade, and find my own clothing, which term I faithfully served, and with the 
help of my mother, together with what I earned by gaining time, I clothed myself, 
although it was not agreeable to the modern customs practised by boys of the same age, 
being then 18 years and 2 months old. My mother dying soon after I was left without 
father, mother, guardian or master. My father left me property to the amount of about 
$300, but I was not entitled to it until I became of age. I then went to work as a journey- 
man, and as soon as my wages amounted to a sum sufficient to lay out, I took an order 
on a store for goods. Money at that time was so scarce that not one fiftieth part of what 
was given for wages, was paid in money. The first thing I took on my order was a 
bible, and the next a suit of clothes. I dare say you will think it was all proper. My 

395 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

wages were $7.62^ per month, which was 15 or 20 per cent, more than other journey- 
men had at that time. 

The last six months before I was of age, I set up my trade, and sold barrels at 50 
cents per piece. About the time I was of age, I made an estimate, and found I had 
made property to the amoimt of $300, which was as much thought of at that time, as 
it would be now for a man to make a thousand in the same time, which established my 
credit so that it became a proverb when a man was doing well, that he made money as 
fast as Andrew Brown. Before I was of age I was offered a lot of fat hogs on credit at 
the market price, and to have three years credit. The pork I took accordingly, and 
ever since found it more safe to buy on credit than to sell on credit. The same month 
that I was of age I bought the quarter of a schooner of about 50 tons, and sent her to 
the West Indies. She made a good voyage, and the next summer she made a fishing 
voyage. We then sold her, and I bought one quarter of a brig of 120 tons, and she 
followed the West India trade tmtil about the time the Revolutionary war began, with 
but little advantage. The war lasted almost 8 years, during which time I was about 
half the time in the state service, as a guard at Stonington, and did but little more than 
support my family, but we lived in good fashion, and were well respected. 

At the peace of 1782, there was such a field open for speculation that vast numbers 
of my acquaintance entered largely into trade, but my experience in trade put me on 
considering the disadvantages attending it, so that I had not courage enough to enter 
into any larger business than to work at my trade and tend my garden, until 1788, 
when my interest I estimated to be worth about 3,000 dollars; considering the place in 
which I lived not enjoying the advantages of the country, or the conveniences of a city, 
and having a number of sons and not considering myself able to put them in business, 
and but little prospect of their obtaining any advantageous employment in that place, 
I resolved to seek my fortune in some other. Believing that God has made all mankind 
of one blood and appointed imto them the bounds of their habitations, my lot has been 
cast in this place, I believe for wise purposes; the opposition I met with on leaving my 
friends and native land was greater than most people met with, but considering that a 
man without resolution is but a poor creature, I so far overcame all difficulties that I 
came forward in June, with Edward, Allen, and two hired men, got in about ten acres 
of grain and returned, leaving Edward and Allen, in the fall, and brought my family to 
Albany the last of November, and sent out Stanton to Edward who came in after us 
with three wagons which brought to my mind the case of old Jacob when Joseph sent 
for him. When we arrived in this town, we found our log house much out of repair, 
not a square of glass in it, you may well think your mother thought it strange and hard, 
as she had been accustomed to live in a good house, well finished, we not having more 
perhaps than ten English families in this town, and those scattered and in low circum- 
stances, and the Dutch far less polished than at present; but industry soon changed the 
face of things, a number of English families moved in, and by degrees things wore a 
more promising aspect; nothing very material took place from that time until your 
personal knowledge, which makes a further narrative unnecessary. 

As to your observations on education, I will observe that it is my wish that every 
person should have a good common education in order to their being qualified to the 
care of themselves, and becoming good members of society; and am in favor of their 
having more, and I care not how much, so long as their learning is kept as a handmaid 
to wait on them through their lives, but when they suffer their learning to become 
a mistress, it disqualifies them from taking hold of such branches of business as their

age and circumstances in life points out for them to do, and it proves very detrimental 
and becomes their ruin. 

Every freeholder is a stockholder in the presidency of the United States, yet it is the 
lot of but a very few, to be a successful candidate by obtaining that oflftce. 

It is our duty to be diligent in our business, and to do our duty in the station we are 
placed in, and if our circumstances do not suit our minds, to endeavor to bring our 
minds to suit our circumstances, which is not so difficult as many think for; it is done by 
considering how much we enjoy, and how little we deserve. 

You no doubt think you would be more happy in doing business for yourself, but 
believe me, were you to ask the merchants, that 9 out of 10 would tell you that they 
never enjoyed themselves better, than whilst they were employed as you now are. If 
you should conduct so as to become a respectable merchant, there is no doubt but that 
you will become respectable in other respects. You very justly observed that a man is 
to be judged by his practice and principles — and you might farther have added "by 
the company he keeps." 

You are not yet too old to obey the commands of a parent, nor yet too young to re- 
ceive the advice of a friend. 

As your future prospects under Divine Providence depend on your own exertions, 
I hope you will consider every transaction as being a link in the chain of your fortune , 
prosperity or adversity; and never neglect doing a virtuous act till to-morrow, that may 
as well be done to-day. Never disclose the whole of your ihind, nor show the bottom 
of your purse; be faithful to your friends, and be cautious of your enemies. 

Having thus answered your enquiries, if anything is omitted, at your further request, 
I will endeavor to satisfy you. We all enjoy usual health, hoping that this will find you 
enjoying the same, 

I remain your affectionate parent, 

Andrew Brown. 

It is related by one of his descendants that a letter written to Andrew 
Brown was in a sense the cause of the duel between Burr and Hamilton. It 
seems that Dr. Charles S. Cooper addressed a letter to Andrew Brown in 
which he stated that Hamilton had shortly before said at his dinner-table 
that Burr was a dangerous man. This letter was given to Allen Brown to 
give to his father. Allen Brown took the letter to a boarding-house kept by 
Mrs. Phelps, where Col. Dietz, a member of the Legislature from Bern, 
was stopping, and gave the letter to Mrs. Phelps with instructions to give 
it to Col, Dietz for delivery to his father. Next morning the letter was found 
in the streets of Albany, open, and was published in the Albany papers. 
This led to the controversy between Burr and Hamilton which resulted in 
the duel. 

Andrew Brown died at his home in Bern, afterwards Knox, in Albany Co., 
Jan. 28, 1813. His wife d. Jan. 26, 1823.

A TRIBUTE OF LOVE. 

To the Memory oj Silas Brown. 

An aged saint, beloved on earth, 

Dear to his Savior and his God, 
Whose pious deeds of heavenly birth 

Cheered sorrow's children in hfe's road, 
Sweetly in Jesus fell asleep. 
And left the desolate to weep. 

Yet still he Uves! The hallowed light 

Of his example shines below. 
Diffusing holy radiance bright 

O'er the dark vale of eartUy woe. if 

Oh, let us tread the path he trod, 
The path of peace, of love of God! 

Oh, well do I remember now 

His feeUng heart, his voice so kind. 
How wreathed with smiles was each young brow 

When the dear guardian of the blind 
Gladdened our midst vidth gentle tone, 
And made our little griefs his own! 

Those generous friends of early day. 

Who toiled to make our lot more blessed. 
Are passing one by one away. 

Gone from this weary world's unrest 
To reap in heaven their bright reward 
And ever be with God, the Lord. 

We mourn their loss who knew them best; 

And heartfelt tears of grief vrill come 
O'er the dear memory of the blest, 

Bright day-star of our childhood's home,

While gratitude's immortal swell 
Re-echoes names remembered well. 

Ye who were twined with holiest love 
Around each fibre of his soul, 

Who felt his spirit's softest move, 
And yielded to its sweet control. 

With yours our prayers and tears we blend. 

Who mourn a guardian and a friend. 

Father in heaven. Thy love alone 

Gave that dear friend to cheer our path. 

Who stands before Thy ghttering throne 
Victorious o'er the powers of death. 

We bow, we kiss Thy chastening rod. 

Thy will be done. Our Father God.

six months he supplied the church at Knox, and there met his wife, whom 
he soon married. He preached for twenty years at Fish House, now North- 
ampton, where he did wonderful work in that place and the vicinity. He 
was then for fifteen years at Mariaville, where his wife died. Then he went

(■2) Sarah Ann Mosher, and moved to her home at Sloansville. He sup- 
plied vacant churches until more than eighty, and preached occasionally

from the Albany Presbytery, and was always on committees for settling 
differences in churches. He is said to have been often the clearest-headed 
man in the presbytery; and although he never had a city charge, he was a 
favorite with city pastors. His second wife d. in 1899. He has lived a 
happy, useful, and contented life. Is now partially paralyzed, but his mind 
is still clear. He wrote the story of his life during the last winter, and ex- 
tracts from it relating to his experiences at college were published in Nansaii 
Literary Magazine for February, 1905, which proved of great interest to 
the students and Faculty of Princeton College. His first wife was a remark- 
able woman in mind and spirit. His work was equally her work, and her 
interests were still wider. She was "capable, witty, famous as a housewife, 
and a sympathetic mother."

Rev. Allen Henry Brown (3569), brother of the preceding, b., 182 Pearl 
St., New York City, Sept. 23, 1820. He received his academic education 
at the notable school of William Forrest in New York, entering the Univer- 
sity of the City of New York in the Sophomore class, and continued through 
the Junior year, taking his Senior year at Columbia College, from which he 
was graduated in 1839. He spent a year in private study, and having de- 
cided to enter the ministry, he attended the class in Hebrew at the Union 
Theological Seminary. He was matriculated at the Theological Seminary 
in Princeton in the class of 1840-1841, and, having pursued the regular four 
years' course, took a fourth scholastic year in that seminary. While here he 
became interested in the work of the American Tract Society, and became 
the agent of the society and superintendent of its colporteur work in South- 
ern New Jersey. In the prosecution of this work he travelled extensively 
through New Jersey, largely by private conveyance. In December, 1846, 
he went to May's Landing, N. J., to supply the small Presbyterian church, 
promising to renew the work of the Tract Society in the spring of 1847. In 
the autumn of 1847 ^^^ went to May's Landing and took up what proved to 
be his life-work. At that time the nearest Presbyterian church was forty 
miles to the south, and the nearest one on the north was more than twice 
that distance. Now, largely through his efforts, there are scores of Presby- 
terian churches within this territory. He was ordained at May's Landing, 
Jan. 5, 1849, as evangelist, and has never yet been installed as a pastor over 
this or any other church; but his life has been devoted to missionary work in 
Southern New Jersey. In 1900 the Presbytery of West Jersey, in commem- 
oration of his fifty-four years of service, and of the eightieth anniversary of 
his birth, voted to publish a memorial volume containing his biography and 
a selection of his sermons and addresses. This was entitled, "A Pioneer of 
Southern New Jersey. A Tribute to Rev. Allen H. Brown." It was pub- 
lished by Allen, Lane & Scott, 1896. During a half-century of missionary 
work he has always regarded Altantic Co. as his legal residence, and May's 
Landing, Absecon, or Atlantic City as his home, though sojourning for a 
limited time at other places. He is now [1907] living among his nearest 
relatives at Montclair, N. J. In June, 1905, Princeton University conferred

on him the well-merited honor of Doctor of Divinity. In 1885, at Atlantic 
City, the Synod of New Jersey honored him by electing him Moderator to 
preside at that meeting, and in the following year, at Camden, he opened 
the Synod with a discourse giving the history of the Synod, which was 
printed by its order (32 pp). He was twice sent by the Presbytery of W^st 
Jersey "as a commissioner to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian 
Church, at Lexington, Ky., 1857, and at Saratoga Springs in 1883. An 
account of his life and of his family was published in "History of the New 
Jersey Coast, Vol. 2, p. 357." He m., Lowell, Mass., Aug. 12, 1852, Martha

booklet of her poems was printed for her family in 1878, under the title 
"Spring Flowers and Autumn Leaves." Dr. Brown has taken an active 
interest in this work, and has given the compiler of the records of this 
branch of the family greatly valued assistance. He retains his faculties un- 
impaired, and is greatly admired and respected by a wide circle of friends 
and relatives.

Lewis Brown, b. Stephentown, Feb. 17, 185 1; d., Omaha, Aug. 25, 1901. 
No issue by her second m. He was a graduate of Williams College, a 
lawyer of distinction. He was Mayor of Omaha for several years; was 
prominent in political and public afifairs. His prosperity brought him 
influence and wealth. He took special interest in looking up his ancestry, 
as was seen by the numerous letters addressed to relatives and friends in 
Stonington and Mystic, Conn. He compiled a full record of his ancestry, 
which he left with his brother's wife, Mrs. James J. Brown, of Omaha. 
In the beginning of his researches he states [see page 9] that Nicholas 
Brown sailed from Southampton, England, in the early spring of 1630. 
The fleet consisted of eleven vessels, having on board 1,700 persons that 
sailed for New England. Among the passengers were John Winthrop, the 
first Governor of the colony of Massachusetts, and many other persons of 
dignity, wealth, and reputation. "Three vessels landed at Salem, Mass., 
in the month of June, 1630, and the passengers began to make settlements 
in the pathless woods." The settlement at Lynn was begun in 1629. He 
quotes under topic lines: "Annuals of Lynn, 1630," at page 119, the 
following: 

"Nicholas Brown was a farmer and lived on Walnut Street in Saugus, 
Mass. He removed to Reading in 1644. He had a son Thomas, who con- 
tinued in Lynn, and died 28 Aug., 1693; his descendants remain." 

In 1638 an allotment of land was made to the residents. [See page 171.] 
Nicholas Brown was given two hundred acres. On Oct. 7, 1641, Nicholas 
Brown was selected as a Representative of Lynn. [See page 578.] On page 
482 we find the following: "Mary (a daughter of John Newhall) married 
Thomas Brown and had several children." The above are the only refer- 
ences to Thomas Brown in the book. 

[These facts are taken from Lewis and Newhall's "History of Lynn."]

History, page 332, says in part that James Dean, Jr., the grandfather of 
this sketch, learned the trade of fulling and dressing woolen cloth, and for 
that purpose erected a dam and fulling-mill on the Mistuxet brook. There 
he continued his business until his son John Dean reached manhood, 
when he and his father built a new dam and erected another fulling-mill 
near his dwelling-house. Afterwards they devoted their time and attention 
to cloth-dressing until 1807, when the fulling-mill was enlarged into what 

434 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

was known as a factory, with a grist-mill, with new and improved machinery 
for cloth-dressing, wool-carding, and for the manufacturing of cotton and 
woolen goods. The new enterprise was continued mainly by James Dean, 
the son of John Dean, the subject of this sketch, with whom he had been in 
business from his early manhood. Mr. James Dean continued in business 
until 1830, when he retired from business, and died six years later. The first 
mill stood just below the present dam; the raceway is kept in order, as seen 
below the dam. The millstones have been carried across the road near 
where the house stood, and marked" 1807." Alarge boulder is here, marked 
"Washboul," dated 1700. The well and well-sweep and oaken bucket are 
in order; a monument of stones twelve feet high capped with a bomb-shell, 
"Relic of 1812." A short distance away is the Wolf-den in the rocks and 
woods on the hill. A large pine-tree in front of where the house stood is 
marked, "Planted by James Dean 1828." 

This has been an ideal place for picnics, with hills and valleys, trees, 
rocks, and living springs of water. The water of the Mistuxet is now util- 
ized by the town of Stonington, with a pumping-station where the last 
factory and grist-mill stood. The water company passed an ordinance in 
1906 forbidding the use of this beautiful locality for picnics, fearing the 
pollution of the water.

SKETCH OF LIFE AND PUBLIC SERVICES OF GENERAL CHARLES F. 

MANDERSON 

Charles Frederick Manderson was born of paternal Scotch-Irish and of maternal 
German ancestry in Philadelphia, Penn., Feb. 9, 1837, and received his education in 
the schools of his native city. At the age of nineteen he removed to Canton, Stark Co., 
O., where he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1859. In the spring of r86o 
he was elected City Solicitor of Canton, O., and was reelected the next year. 

On the day of the receipt of the news of the firing on Fort Sumter, in April, 1861, 
he enlisted as a private with Captain James Wallace of the Canton Zouaves, an inde- 
jjendent company in which he had been a corporal. Receiving permission from Gov- 
ernor Dennison, he, with Samuel Beatty, an old Mexican soldier, then sheriff of Stark 
Co., raised a full company of infantry in one day, Manderson being elected and com- 
missioned ist Lieutenant. In May, 1861, Beatty, the Captain, being made Colonel of 
the 19th Ohio Infantry, Manderson became Captain of Company A of that regiment. 
He took two companies into western Virginia among the first troops occupying that 
section, and the ipth Ohio became a part of the brigade commanded by General Rose- 
crans in General McClellan's Army of Occupation of West Virginia. The regiment 
participated with great credit in the first field battle of the war. Rich Moimtain, the 
eleventh day of July, 1861. Captain Manderson received special mention in the official 

436 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

reports of this battle. In August, 1861, he reenlisted his company for three years, or 
during the war, and in this service he rose through the grades of Major, Lieutenant- 
Colonel, and Colonel of the 19th Ohio Infantry, and on Jan. i, 1864, over four hundred 
of the survivors of his regiment reenlisted with him as veteran volunteers. The battle 
of Shiloh, fought Apr. 7, 1862, during which Captain Manderson acted as Lieutenant- 
Colonel, caused his promotion to the rank of Major, and he was mentioned in the re- 
ports of General Boyle and General Crittenden for distinguished gallantry and excep- 
tional service. General Boyle says in his report: 

"Captain Manderson deported himself with cool nerve and courage and personally 
captured a prisoner." ' 

He was in command of the 19th Ohio Infantry in all its engagements up to and in- 
cluding the battle of Love joy's Station, on Sept. 2, 1864. At the battle of Stone's River, 
or Murfreesboro, fought Dec. 31, 1862, and Jan. 2, 1863, the regiment lost in killed 
and wounded two himdred and thirteen men out of four himdred and forty-nine taken 
into the engagement, or forty-four per cent. It won distinguished renown and excep- 
tional mention for its participation in this great battle, and the official reports gave 
particular credit to its charge in the cedars, which checked the enemy's advance upon 
our right and restored the line of battle to one that could be maintained. General Fred 
Knefler, who commanded the 79th Indiana, said in his official report: 

"It may not be improper to remark that the behavior of my regiment, which had but 
few opportunities for drill, and had not been long in the field, may be attributed in a 
great measure to the splendid conduct of the 19th Ohio, Major Manderson command- 
ing, the effect of whose example was not lost upon the officers and soldiers of my regi- 
ment." 

General Grider, commanding the brigade, says: 

"The command was splendidly led by its officers, among whom was Major Mander- 
son, who exhibited the utmost coolness and daring." 

After the battle of Rich Mountain, and during its three years and its veteran service, 
the 19th Ohio Infantry participated in the following campaigns and battles: Shiloh, 
Siege of Corinth, Action near Farmington, Movement from Battle Creek, Tenn., to 
Louisville, Ky., Perryville Campaign, Crab Orchard, Stone's River, Murfreesboro, 
Tullahoma Campaign, Liberty Gap, Chickamauga, Siege of Chattanooga, Orchard 
Knob, Mission Ridge, Knoxville Campaign, Atlanta Campaign, Cassville, Dallas, New 
Hope Church, Picketts Mills, Ackworth Station, Pine Knob, Kulp's Farm, Kenesaw, 
Affair near Marietta, Crossing the Chattahootchie River, Peach Tree Creek, Siege of 
Atlanta, Ezra Chapel, Jonesboro, Lovejoy's Station, Franklin, Nashville, and pursuit 
of Hood's army. 

The brigade commander says of the battle of New Hope Church, during the Atlanta 
Campaign, in his official report: 

"The second line, commanded by Colonel Manderson and composed of the 19th 
Ohio, the 79th Indiana, and the 9th Kentucky, advanced in splendid style through a 
terrific fire. Officers and soldiers acted most gallantly, the regiments of the second 
line particularly, which advanced in admirable order over very difficult ground and 
determinedly maintained their ground against very superior numbers. Conspicuous 
for gallantry and deserving of special mention is Colonel C. F. Manderson of the 19th 
Ohio." 

While leading his demi-brigade, composed of the 19th Ohio, the 9th Kentucky, and 
the 79th Indiana, in a charge upon the enemy's works at Lovejoy's Station, Ga., on 

437 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

Sept. 2, 1864, in which, in a most desperate charge, the*front line of works was taken 
and held, he was severely wounded in the spine and right side. 
General Knefler, commanding the brigade, says officially: 

"I cannot say too much of Colonel Manderson, who was severely wounded and 
always conspicuous for gallantry and skill." 

General Wood, who commanded the division, says of the charge upon the enemy's 
works : 

"It was gallantly made, and we lost some valuable officers, among them Colonel 
Manderson." 

The ball being unextracted and much disability arising therefrom, he was compelled 
to resign the service from wotmds in April, 1865, the war in the West having practically 
closed. Previous to his resignation he was breveted Brigadier-General of Volimteers, 
U. S. A., to date Mar. 13, 1865, "for long, faithful, gallant, and meritorious services 
during the War of the Rebellion." This distinction came to him on the recommenda- 
tion of army commanders in the field, and not by political influence. He participated 
in all the battles in which his regiment took part except Chickamauga, when he was 
absent on detached duty, and Franklin and Nashville, when he was absent on account 
of wounds. 

Returning to Canton, O., he resumed the practice of law, and was twice elected 
Prosecuting Attorney of Stark Co., declining a nomination for a third term. In 1867 
he came within one vote of receiving the Republican nomination for Congress in a 
district in Ohio then conceded to be Republican by several thousand majority. 

In November, 1869, he removed to Omaha, Neb., where he still resides, and where 
he quickly became prominent in legal and political affairs. He was a member of the 
Nebraska State Constitutional Convention of 1871, and also that of 1874, being elected 
without opposition by the nominations of both political parties. He served as City 
Attorney of Omaha, Neb., for over six years, obtaining signal success in the trial of 
important municipal cases and achieving high rank as a lawyer. For many years he 
has been an active comrade in the Grand Army of the Republic, and for three years 
was Commander of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the District of Columbia, 
and has since been Commander of the Nebraska Commandery. He was elected United 
States Senator as a Republican to succeed Alvin Saunders, his term commencing Mar. 
4, 1883. He was reelected to the Senate in 1888 without opposition, and with excep- 
tional and unprecedented marks of approval from the Legislature of Nebraska. His 
term expired Mar. 3, 1895, and he declined to be a candidate for a third term, annovmc- 
ing publicly his intention to retire from public life. In the Senate he was Chairman of 
the Joint Committee on Printing and an active member of the following committees: 
Claims, Private Land Claims, Territories, Indian Affairs, Military Affairs, and Rules. 
Many valuable reports have been made by him from these committees, and he has been 
a shaping and a directing force in the way of legislation of value relating to Claims, 
the establishment of the Private Land Claims Court, the Government of the Territories, 
the admission of new States, pensions to soldiers, aid to soldiers' homes, laws for the 
better organization and improvement of the discipline of the United States Army, and 
for the improvement and better methods for the printing of the Government. 

In the second session of the 51st Congress he was elected by the United States Senate 
as its president pro tempore without opposition, it having been declared by the Senate 
after full debate to be a continuing office. This imanimous election to the presidency 
of the Senate was without a precedent, and was the highest compliment that could be 

438 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

paid by that august body to one of its members. In March, 1893, the poHtical com- 
plexion of the Senate having changed, he resigned the presidency of the Senate, after 
serving in that capacity for three years, and was succeeded by Hon. Isham G. Harris, 
of Tennessee. General Manderson retired from the Senate Mar. 3, 1895, and, being 
tendered the position of General Solicitor of the Burlington System of Railroads west 
of the Missouri River, entered upon the duties of the place on Apr. i, 1895, continuing 
his residence in Omaha, Neb. In 1899 he was vice-president of the American Bar 
Association, and acted as president at its annual meeting, at which he was elected as 
its president, serving as such in 1900. Res., 1907, Omaha, Neb.

Aug. 10, 1885, aged eighty-seven years; he m. (i) Cynthia S, Wheeler, b.

suming, his character without reproach. He and his family were members 
of the Third Baptist Church. 

It is a rare privilege when a compiler of family records has a person 
living, in her ninety-eighth year, to recall events and matters of interest 
covering so long a period of life. Having known Mrs. Hillard since 1845, 
living near her for several years, I have visited her as opportunity afforded 
for over sixty years. She recalls when she and all her household were bap- 
tized, in 1846, as one of the greatest events of her long life. [See Appendix 
X.] Her youngest sister Amelia — or Milly, as she was called — was a 
member of this family for several years, and when she was married and 
went to Newport " it almost broke my heart." She says her " mother was a 
good woman," so, also, " my father was a good man." She told of the great 
September gale in 1815, when the men came and took her, her younger 
sister, and her mother to the Truman house, fearing their house would be 
blown down. The mother was so frightened when she got there that they 
fanned her; but she said, "Don't fan me, I have had wind enough." So 
violent was the wind that salt water blew as far as Pendleton Hill, about 
twelve miles away. She entertains her six children and grandchildren; all 
but two live near her, and they contribute to make her life very pleasant. 
She is a remarkably busy woman, and for the past thirty years and more 
has made carpets, weaving and doing all the work, making numerous fancy 
bed-quilts, piecing silk, and making portieres; and is still doing this work in 
May, 1906. Her health is good, but her hearing is somewhat impaired.

two thousand miles, he joined a large company of gold-seekers, with horses, 
mules, and ox-teams, stages with six and eight horses, with passengers at 
$200 each, all for the gold-fields. His pack consisted of rifle, pistol, sixty 
pounds of crackers, and two venison hams. His load was heavy and he 
decided to try the "Irish buggy," a wheelbarrow. He was known every- 
where as "The Wheelbarrow Man." He crossed the Missouri River May 

11, 1850, with no sign of civilization where now [1907] Kansas and Nebraska,

two great commonwealths, have been established. For three hundred and 
fifty miles not a house was to be seen, but they were always in sight of the 
great emigration-trains. On June 23 Fort Laramie was reached. Com- 
missary stores being so light, he left his "buggy" in the Platte River, and 
bought a mule of the Sioux Indians. He now had an animal to pack and 
ride, nearly up to the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains. Joining a com- 
pany of Missourians who had abandoned their wagon and packed their 
oxen with their diminished belongings, they slowly moved forward, until 
Salt Lake City was reached, July 18, 1850, with wide streets, beautiful 
mountain water, and fine wheat-fields. He left Salt Lake City August i, 
and forty-two days afterwards arrived in California, about the time the 
State was admitted into the Union. The winter of 1850-185 1 was spent in 
gold-hunting; then he returned to the States, arriving, Jan. i, 1852, at 
Plainfield, the starting-place. The second trip for California began Apr. 9, 
1852, via Panama. He arrived at old Siskiyou and engaged in mining with 
James Alden Peabody and George L. Willey, a descendant of the Willey 
family that were buried in a land and rock slide in the White Mountains of 
New Hampshire, Aug., 1826. He again returned to the States, this time 
with his sister, Mrs. Copeland, and Mr. Peabody, from San Francisco, by 
the Nicaragua route. In the autumn of 1854 he was married and went to 
live in La Crosse, Wis., where he remained for six years. He always had a 
longing for the Golden State, and went the third time, with his family, in 
May, i860; and there he still [1907] resides, near the same land and farm 
from which he dug gold in the early "fifties." Res., 1907, Walker, Siskiyou

''Resolved, That the city of Marshall, by the death of Wm. H. 
Brown, has lost one of her most useful citizens; Calhoun Co., 
her oldest lawyer; and the State of Michigan, one of her 
prominent pioneers, who in private and professional life has 
done -so much to build up the city, to develop the resources 
of the county, and to establish and sustain the institutions 
of the State." Mr. Brown joined the Presbyterian Church 
in 1846 and was regular in attendance.

who were privileged to meet her could best see the excellence of her char- 
acter. She was a true and faithful wife, whose devotion has brightened the 
pathway of her husband's life for more than fifty-three years; a kind, lov- 
ing, sympathetic, self-sacrificing mother, who counted no effort too great 
for the welfare and happiness of her family; whose loving counsel was cov- 
eted by every member of the family; whose last days were spent in longing 
to do more for her loved ones; and who felt to the last that there was much 
more for her to do," After their marriage they resided at Peterboro until 
1866, when he purchased a large farm near Earlville, N. Y., where th^y

life of so noble a man, laying down the burdens of life in his ninety-fourth 
year. The self-sacrificing labors and the towering grandeur of his charac- 
ter and the wide-spread and abounding influence which emanated from his 
life perpetuate his memory through many generations, leaving a shining 
record. 

The handful of corn on the tops of the mountains grew till now the mem- 
bership was three hundred and thirty-five. He served this church all these 
years without salary, and built the meeting-house from lumber cut from 
his "cedar swamp," with the assistance of his brethren. 

It was without paint, both interior and exterior; with galleries on three 
sides, a high pulpit on the north side, with an ascent of ten stairs, enclosed 
with panel work. When the minister was seated he could not be seen by 
the audience. He stood on a small platform, and was a commanding fig- 
ure. The writer was present when the last service was held in this old 
meeting-house, in the spring of 1845; '^ was like parting with one's dearest 
friend, and many tears were shed. It was suggested that they better 
let it stand, but it was taken down and the present house erected the same 
year. 

The ceiling of the porch of the new house was the panelling taken from 
the pews of the old house. 

The following items of interest by way of comparison are gleaned from 
the Stonington Baptist Association, as it was first called in the first printed 
minutes, which embraced churches in Rhode Island as far east as Exeter 
and Wickford and west to Waterford and Montville, Conn.

From this last date to the present, 1905, all these country churches have 

decreased in membership; and while they still live, they have become, some 

of them, very weak. 

The successor to Elder Brown was Elder Asher Miner, who had been 
for ten years associate pastor with the aged minister, and at his death be- 
came sole pastor. 

The church has been, and is still, called the Miner Church, although 
many living at this distant day believe it should have been called the Elder 
Simeon Brown Church. 

Rev. Asher Miner was born in No. Stonington, Conn., Jan. 30, 1772. 
He was the son of Thomas and Mary (Page) Miner; married Lucy Spald- 
ing, Nov. 28, 1790; and was ordained in 1805. The church is beautifully 
located, second only to the church on Pendleton Hill for natural scenery 
and picturesqueness. Elder Miner was a contemporary with Elder Jona- 
than Miner of the First Church and Elder John Gano Wightman of the 
First Groton Church. 

Neither Elder Brown nor Elder Miner had the advantages of a collegiate 
or theological education, but were both men of natural endowments, and 
good understanding of the word of God. Their highest aim and the crown- 
ing efforts of their lives were to lead men and women, old and young, to a 
saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and in this crowning part of their work 
they were eminently successful; which is the pre-eminent work of the gospel 
ministrv. Elder Miner had been trained in church work by his illustrious 
predecessor, and had spent his whole life with this church. Elder Brown 
had laid the sure foundation and was worthy to be followed. 

There are yet living, in 1905 some who remember this saint of God, the 
tone of his voice, and the people who came in large numbers to attend 
divine worship. 

During his pastorate there were received nearly five hundred into the 
fellowship of this church. Although there were churches at this time in 
Westerly, Stonington, Mystic, much nearer, the people flocked to this old 
church in great numbers; so that during this pastorate the church numbered, 
at one time, four hundred and eighty. Elder Miner died Sept. i, 1836, 
and the people still worship in the old house. 

A few now, in 1905, remember Elder Asher Miner, whose whole term of

This house was built, over two hundred years ago, by Sylvanus Maxson 
(719), who owned large tracts of land. Nathan Maxson (720), his son, came 
in possession of it, and he and his wife Ruth died here. Horace Maxson 
(723) was the next heir, and his wife, Lovina, died here, and their daughter 
Sarah Catherine (726) was born and married in this house to Cyrus H. Brown 
(260). 

It has been celebrated as the rendezvous of the Sabbatarian fraternity for 
scores of years. Near this house is the Second Seventh Day Baptist meeting- 
house in America.

of Rev. Valentine Wightman, of Groton, a descendant of Rev. Edward 
Wightman, burned at the stake in Litchfield, England, in 161 2, the last 
man in England so to suffer for conscience' sake. Rev. Valentine Wight- 
man Rathbone settled in Pittsfield, Mass., in 1769, organized the first 
Baptist church in Pittsfield, and became its pastor in 1772. He was also a 
clothier. His fellow citizens manifested their esteem of his character and 
talents by electing him to represent them in county congresses, over which 
he often presided, and at interesting crises sent him to the General Court. 

Rev. Valentine Wightman, the father of Mary Wightman mentioned above, organ- 
ized the first Baptist church in Connecticut, and the first Baptist church west of Prov- 
idence, R. I. — at Groton, ini705. He assisted in planting the first Baptist church in 
the city and State of New York. He was a well-educated and scholarly man; aided 
in planting churches in Stonington, Waterford, and Lyme, Conn. He was pastor of 
the Groton church forty-two years, and was succeeded by his son Rev. Timothy Wight- 
man, who was tried by the erratic ideas and practices of a band of Rogerine Quakers, 
that aimed at times to disturb his meetings, but his serenity and good judgment foiled 
their designs They would attend his meetings taking with them their basket-work, 
and during a service one of them addressed the minister: "Timothy, thou liest; thou 
knowest thou liest." He was a plain, fearless, discreet, faithful preacher, like his hon- 
ored father before him. He also served the Groton church for forty-two years. The 
next to succeed Rev. Timothy Wightman was his youngest son, Rev. John Gano 
Wightman, who was a man distinguished for solid, practical qualities of fervent and 
consistent piety, of an e.xcellent, goodly personal appearance and bearing, who won a 
high rank in the councils and associations of the Baptist denomination. He was pastor 
forty -one years. Thus father, son, and grandson served successively the old Groton 
church for one hundred and twenty-five years.

The descent of Tabitha Brown and her sister Content (85) is wrongly 
given in the Rathbone Genealogy. She is there stated to have been a dau. 
of Humphrey Brown, son of Daniel Brown, who emigrated from England 
about 1620. This error is corrected by the Chesebrough Genealogy, p. 517, 
.which, on the faith of tradition among the descendants of Content (Brown) 
Wightman (85), makes Thomas Brown, of Lynn, a descendant of Peter 
Brown, of the Mayflower. [See Rathbone Genealogy, Syracuse, N. Y.,

The portrait of Rev. Valentine Rathbone, in silhouette, forms the frontis- 
piece to the Randall Genealogy. His son John Rathbone was a very suc- 
cessful merchant in New York City, where he and his son, John, Jr., were 
prominent capitahsts. David Rathbone, son of Rev. Valentine, was also a 
Baptist minister. His grandson, Justus Henry Rathbone, was the founder 
of the Knights of Pythias. Robert C. Rathbone, son of Aaron, son of Rev. 
Valentine, was a stockbroker in New York City; was one of the founders, 
and for thirty-three years treasurer, of the New York Stock Exchange. 
Another son, Aaron H. Rathbone, was a wealthy New York City real-estate 
owner. 

It is stated in the Rathbone Genealogy, p. 109, and elsewhere, that 
Tabitha Brown (82) had a sister Lydia, who m. Simeon Sparhawk, who

Appendix II. 

THOMAS BROWN'S WILL 

The following is a copy of the orally declared last will and testament of 
Thomas Brown, senior, of Lynn, Mass.: 

The following was taken down in writing this day, being ye yth of Octo- 
ber, 1693: 

Memorandum — About two years since: though in ye last sickness of 
Thomas Brown, hereinafter named, he declared the following sentences as 
his last will and testament, who died about six weeks ago. 

Thomas Brown, of Lynn, Sen., being of proper memory and good un- 
derstanding, declared what his last will and testament should be, in the 
presence of Jeremiah Shepard, John Newhall senior, and Mary Shepard. 
After some serious discourse with Mr. Shepard about his spiritual condi- 
tion, he earnestly desired Mr. Shepard to be helpful to him in settling his 
temporal estate, and said he was very apprehensive of the decay of nature, 
by reason of many bodily infirmities that did weaken him, and therefore 
could not put long continuance in this world. So he thought it meet to 
take the present opportunity of expressing his mind concerning his last will 
and testament; and desired Mr. Shepard to draw it up that he might read 
it and subscribe to the same. And having committed his spirit to God, 
and his body to the dust, wishing a decent interment thereof, suitable to 
his rank and quality, he did thus, fearlessly, freely, and voluntarily and 
deliberately express himself: 

My will is, that after my honest debts and funeral charges are paid my 
home and homestead, with all my land in Lynn, as also my cattle and 
moveables, without doors, I give and bequeath to my son Ebenezer, who 
hath been very careful of me and my family, and whom I have betrusted 
with the management of my outward affairs, only my will is that my son 
Ebenezer provide for my wife, that she be comfortably maintained out of 
my estate. 

I give and bequeath to my wife all my moveables within doors, pewter, 
brass, bedding, &c., to be at her absolute disposal. 

I give to my eldest son Thomas, my long gun, which I value at forty 
shillings. 

I give to my son Joseph twenty shillings, having already bestowed some 
lands upon him. 

I give to my son John twenty shillings. 

540 



APPENDIX 

I give to my son Daniel five pounds. 
I give to my daughter Norwood twenty shillings. 

My will is that my loving wife should be executri.x, and my son Eben- 
ezer executor. 

To this, my last will and testament, I constitute my brother John New- 
hall, and Robert Potter, senior, to be my overseers. 

Thomas Brown did thus express his mind, in reference to his last will 
and testament, in presence of us. 

Jeremiah Shepard, 
Mary Shepard, 
John Newhall, Sen. 

Before ye Honored Bartho Gedney, Esq., October 9th, 1693, Mr. Jere- 
miah Shepard and Mary his wife, and John Newhall, Sen., made oath 
that what is within as above contained in this paper was expressed by said 
Thomas Brown as his last will and testament; and that said John Newhall 
and Mary Shepard, add that he also gave to his son Eleazer five pounds. 
Sworn to ye day aforesaid.

Register. 

[Extract from the Narragansett Weekly, May 22, 1884.] 

The names of many of the early settlers who came to Stonington, Conn, 
from Massachusetts, are herewith given and will be of interest to many. 

The Rev. Jeremiah Shepard, who wrote the aforesaid nuncupative 
will of Mr. Thomas Brown, Senior, of Lynn, Mass., was at that time a 
settled pastor of a church of that town. 

He was the youngest son of the famous Rev. Thomas Shepard, of Boston, 
Mass., by his third wife, Mrs. Margaret Borodel. The Rev. Jeremiah 
Shepard married Miss Mary Wainwright, and they became the parents 
of a large family of children, one of whom, Mary Shepard, married Isaac 
Wheeler, of Stonington, and settled with her husband on the north range 
of Taugwonk. 

They erected a double house, two stories in front and one in the rear. 
The west part, next the road, was used for a store. There Madam WTieeler, 
as she was called, engaged in trade, purchasing a large part of the surplus 
butter, cheese, poultry, beef, and pork that the farmers in this region had 
to sell, and then shipping it all to Boston by water. She also kept a stock 
of dry goods to exchange with farmers for their products. •These goods she 
usually purchased herself in Boston, when she sold her farm products. Her 
trips to Boston were made on horseback and alone, occupying, in going

and coming, about four days. She was one of the most energetic, capable, 
and accomphshed business characters of her day, accumulating, for the 
time, a fortune, which was inherited by her son Thomas Wheeler, which 
made him at the time of his death, 1755, the richest man of Stonington. 

The occupation of Thomas Brown, Senior, of Lynn, was that of a ''dish- 
turner;" that of his son Thomas was a joiner, whose brother John was a 
carpenter, and built a large number of houses in Stonington. Eleazer was 
engaged in farming and stock-raising. 

Thomas, John, and Eleazer Brown sold all their possessions in Lynn to 
their brother Daniel Brown, under date of Feb. 25, 1706. The deeds were 
drawn and executed here, and recorded there. 

A large number of the early planters of old Stonington came here from 
Massachusetts. Wm. Chesebrough, our first planter, settled first in Boston, 
removed to Braintree, then to Rehoboth, and, in 1649, came here. Walter 
Palmer settled first in Charlestown, Mass., removed to Rehoboth, and 
then came to Stonington. Thomas Miner first settled in Charlestown, 
Mass., then removed to Stonington; from there he went to New London, 
and from New London came here. Capt. John Gallup settled first with 
his father in Boston; from there he removed to New London, and from 
there came here. John Breed came directly here from Lynn, Mass. 
Thomas Wheeler and his son Isaac Wheeler came here from Lynn, Mass. 
Capt. George Denison first settled in Roxbury, Mass.; from there went to 
New London, and from there came here. 

Robert Park and son Thomas Park, John Williams, Ebenezer Williams, 
and Eleazer Williamscamehere fromRoxbury, Mass. William Billingscame 
here from Dorchester, Mass. Amos Richardson came here from Boston. 
James York came here from Braintree, Mass. Thomas Hewett came here 
from Hingham, Mass. [WTieeler.] 

These names are common in Stonington and North Stonington at the 
present day.

The original Deed from Thomas Brown (2) to his son Daniel Brown (24) 
has been preserved and handed down from generation to generation: to his 
son Christopher 459), to his son Christopher, Jr. (107), to his son Nathan 
W., and to his son Frank E. Brown; and is now [1904] in his possession; 
also other original ancient documents, in a good state of preservation.

Note. — The deed of this land doubtless is a part of the original pur-

Daniel Brown (24) erected his house on this tract of land, immediately 
after his father deeded the same to him. Nathan (60), the son of Daniel (24), 
rebuilt the house, and on this site have lived six generations, coming down 
by direct descent; and it is still, in 1905, owned and occupied by one of his 
heirs, Lucy Crary (Brown) Miner.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY 



Appendix VIII. 

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF NO. STONINGTON, CONN. 

In writing the records of some of the Brown families, it is found that 
many of their ancestors are worthy of honorable mention in connection 
with the First and Second Baptist Churches in what is now No. Stoning- 
ton. The First Baptist Church was organized in 1743; and Elder Wait 
Palmer was chosen its pastor and ordained the same year. 

At the time this church was organized there was but one other Baptist 
church in the State of Connecticut. This one was located at Groton, three 
miles west of Old Mystic; organized in 1705, with Valentine Wightman as 
its first pastor. It must be borne in mind that the date which marks the 
rise of this church carries us far back into the early settlement of the 
country — and seventy years before the Revolution. 

Wait Palmer was baptized May 27, 1711; he married Mary Brown (42), 
daughter of Eleazer Brown (11) and Mary Pendleton. They settled about 
three miles west of her father's house, on that fertile ridge of land called 
Taugwank; afterwards they removed to Pau-hun-gue-nuck Hill, now called 
Pendleton Hill. At this time the settlements were few, and the church 
small; but their spirit and courage we admire, the elevated tone of their 
piety, their patient endurance of suffering, and their manly resistance of 
religious despotism. They were extraordinary men, made so by the grace 
of God. 

Elder Palmer was a man of plain, common education, yet of strong, vig- 
orous intellect, of .sound, practical sense. Books he had none. The Bible 
alone was the man of his council, his almost exclusive study; hence he be- 
came mighty in the Scriptures. He owned a farm of ninety acres a little 
west of the Pendleton Hill meeting-house. He received comparatively 
no support from the Church, and he often preached in destitute settlements. 
He held meetings in Preston, where afterwards there became a flourishing 
Baptist church, and in Tolland also, where he baptized the celebrated 
Shubael Stearns arid shortly after assisted with Joshua Morse in his ordi- 
nation, who became the most remarkable preacher of his time. He formed 
a church in North Carolina, and in a short time had 606 members. He 
really evangelized the States of South Carolina and Georgia. 

Elder Palmer baptized Simeon Brown (72), the first pastor of the Second 
Church in this town. 

We cannot state at the close of his ministry the numerical strength of the

church, but it was fast gaining strength and power. During the pastorate 
of Elder Palmer we have no data as to when the church was built, but find 
that the land for it was given by Daniel Brown (24), cousin to Elder Palmer's 
wife, and Thomas Holmes. The house was located two miles south ot 
Pendleton Hill, near Zebulon York's, on the east side of the road. The 
compiler remembers it as a small and very old brown house, after it had 
been deserted from twelve to fifteen years. Mr. Palmer was the fiist pastor 
of this church, and it was at a period which tried men's souls, as he labored 
extensively for the diffusion of truth with our earliest ministers in the great 
work of gathering and planting churches. We are constrained to rev- 
erence his name and memory, and regard him as worthy to be enrolled 
among the noble men of his day. Elder Palmer was an active patriot in 
the Revolution, soon after which he died, in 1790, nearly ninety years old. 
Interment, half a mile south of the present Pendleton Hill meeting-house, 
in an unmarked grave. 

The following record was found among the old records of the First Bap- 
tist Church (Pendleton Hill), asking the Second Church to give up their 
beloved brother, Eleazer Brown, to become their minister. Quoted as 
written : 

"The Church of Christ under the Pastorate Charge of Elder Simeon 
Brown. To the Church of Christ, formerly of Elder Palmer's Charge, sends 
greeting, wishing, grace, Mercy and Peace, to be multiplied unto you, 
through our Lord Jesus Christ. To whom be glory and praise Amen. 

" Beloved, whereas we on the 9th of this Instant December 1769 Received 
a request from you by your Messengers: that we would manifest our free- 
dom in giving up to your Watchcare our Beloved Brother Eleazer Brown; 
that you may be enabled to set him apart to be your Minister and Sealer 
under Christ, the great Head of the Church. In answer to which we hereby 
send you our Letter of Reccomendation, reccomending our said Brother as 
one visibly Clean, and in regular standing in our Church as having a Spe- 
cial Gift from God to preach the everlasting Gospel. 

" Wishing and praying the Blessing of Heaven to attend him, and you 
Amen.

The second pastor of this church was Eleazer Brown (139), who came to 
this church as a licentiate from the Second Baptist Church in this town, 
which was organized in 1765. In this capacity he ser\-ed the church for the

THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

term of four years and was ordained as pastor June 24, 1770. The minis- 
ters who assisted were, Joshua Morse, Timothy Wightman, of the First 
Church of Groton, Simeon Brown (72), of the Second Church in this town. 

Mr. Brown was a man whom God had eminently fitted for the station 
he was to occupy. He waited with becoming modesty for four years the 
acceptance of the church, yet all the time preached to the church, which 
watched his steady demeanor, his ripening gifts and growing worth. From 
the minutes of the Stonington Union Association the church numbered 
ninety-seven. Towards the close of his ministry there came, in 1791, a 
great outpouring of the Spirit of God; the seed faithfully sown began to 
bear much fruit, and at this revival the church received an accession of 
fifty-two, making the total membership one hundred and fifty-two. Elder 
Brown had, it is said, but little education, but was a man of strong native 
powers, of vivid thought and conception, and of a flowing rapid delivery. 
He was rightly esteemed as one of the most eminent preachers of his day. 

Peleg Randall was baptized Nov. 19, 1784, and was ordained an evan- 
gelist Oct. 25, 1792; on this occasion the aged pastor of this church with 
much propriety gave the charge. The old pastor, worn with long labor, 
was about to be taken up to his reward; but ere he departed he poured the 
sacred oil upon the head of his successor. This was his only pastorate, and 
the longest of this church, extending over a period of twenty-five years. 

On the nth of July, 1795, he fell asleep in Jesus, in the twenty-seventh 
year of his ministry. 

Interment in Brown Cemetery, north of the Second Church. 

The third pastor of this church was Peleg Randall, who succeeded Elder 
Brown in 1792. Dr. A. G. Palmer says of him: "His discourses were cool, 
deliberate, instructive, but were usually wanting in the glowing warmth and 
animation for which his revered predecessor was so highly distinguished. 
He was at times impassioned, ardent, and impressive in his delivery, often 
becoming, towards the close of his discourse, deeply moved himself, hence 
deeply moving others. ' ' 

Although no general revival was enjoyed under his ministry, yet it was 
by no means unfruitful in the conversion of souls. At this time this church 
was not alone, for the Second Church was organized five miles to the south, 
with Elder Simeon Brown as pastor, in 1765, which must have drawn a 
number by letter from this church to the Second Church. Mr. Randall 
closed his labors with this church Oct. 8, 1813, and the church was left 
without a pastor. 

Rev. Jonathan Miner was ordained at the First Church in Groton, Feb. 
14, 1814, to which this church sent delegates; and because of the impression 

552 



APPENDIX 

the candidate made upon these delegates the church resolved at once to call 
him to preach to them for one year. The call was accepted, and Mr. Miner 
took up his residence with them in the spring of 1814. During the first 
three months of his ministry fifty-six members were added to the church 
by baptism. The work of grace continued from year to year, as revival 
followed revival, up to the close of his ministry. 

But there were years of comparative unfruitfulness. At the close of 1814 
the church numbered one hundred and eighty-five. The next general re- 
vival under the leadership of Elder Miner commenced in the autumn of 
1822 and extended till April, 1823. Many in the meridian of life were re- 
ceived and baptized into the fellowship of the church. Dr. A. G. Palmer 
said, on the occasion of the one-hundredth anniversary of this church: 
"These were days of childhood with many of us; but they left an impression 
upon our hearts which neither time nor eternity will ever efface. It was 
the first bright spot in our existence, the enkindling of the spiritual life 
within us, the lighting up in our young minds, the hope of immortality." 
By this revival the church received an accession of fifty-one members, ma- 
king the whole number two hundred and thirty-one. 

All of these years of the existence of this pioneer church, till 1830, thev 
worshipped in the old meeting-house, and here had been gathered a large 
and flourishing body of spiritual members. But the time had come for the 
church to enlarge its house of worship. Accordingly, in 1830, they rebuilt 
on that beautiful plateau, Pendleton Hill, commanding a most magnifi- 
cent view of the surrounding country and of the ocean, fifteen miles awav. 
The dedicatory sermon was preached by Elder John Gano Wightman, of 
the First Groton Church, now [1905] Old Mystic. Elder Wightman was 
grandson of Valentine Wightman; his father was Timothy Wightman, the 
three elders serving successively one hundred and twenty-five years. Now, 
this First Groton Church is two hundred years old. 

But to return: ninety-one years had now passed in the history of this 
church, and it had but four pastors, and under their efficient labors it had 
advanced from a state of extreme feebleness to comparative strength and 
prosperity. During this time the increasing population of the town gave 
to the church a larger field to draw from; hence, during the closing years 
of Elder Miner's ministry of faithful service, we note large ingatherings 
to the church. 

Up to this time the church had paid their ministers no salary. Elder 
Miner said to the church, after they had built their new and commodious 
house of worship, "You ought now to pay your minister a little salary." 

His term of servnce was twenty years, terminating in March, 1834. From 

553 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

this time till 1837 the church was without a pastor. In 1835 'Another wave 
of revival interest came, when forty-five were received by baptism. In 
the autumn of 1837 another awakening began, and as the result of a faith- 
ful working church, forty precious souls were gathered into the fold of 
Christ. 

During this time the oversight of the church devolved upon the deacons, 
who filled their offices well; hence a most excellent report of their steward- 
ship by constant ingatherings. 

As many of the Brown ancestors participated in duties and labors of 
this church, from the very first and all through the century, and cooperated 
with it, the compiler was desirous of taking a glance at its history for the 
first one hundred years. The only other long pastorate of this church was 
Rev. D. S. Chapman's, fourteen years; he died pastor of the church. Peo- 
ple came to the old church long distances in those early times, and it was 
no uncommon thing to see, hitched around and near this meeting-house, 
thirty, forty, or even fifty horses with saddle and pillion on their backs. 
That was when they were glad when they said, "Let us go into the house 
of the Lord." 

Services have been regularly maintained all these one hundred and 
sixty-two years. The deacons of this church have an honorable mention, 
being men of God, laboring zealously for the saving of the lost, using the 
office of deacon well, and getting to themselves a good report.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF NO. STONINGTON, CONN. 

The Second Baptist Church of No. Stonington, Conn., was organized 
in March, 1765, with Elder Simeon Brown (72) as pastor. Elder Brown 
was born in Stonington Jan. 31, 1723, a man of strong native talents; he 
was converted under the preaching of Whitefield, in 1745. He united with 
Rev. Stephen Babcock in forming the Baptist Church in Westerly, R. I., 
in 1750; and was baptized by Rev. Wait Palmer in 1764, being ordained 
the same year. His pastorate and watchful care over this church extended 
from the organization, in 1765, till his death, in 1815 — fifty years and 
eight months, a noble record to be engraved on his monument in Brown 
Cemetery in his native town. 

His descendants may well be proud of the character and the consecrated

service was thirty-one years. On his tombstone in Union Cemetery is 
inscribed: 

The gospel was his joy and song, 

Even to his latest breath ; 
The truth he had proclaimed so long 

Was his support in death. 

The names of some of the ministers who succeeded Elder Miner were 
Elder Erastus Denison, Elder John Green, who often supplied, Thomas 
Barber, Elder C. C. Lewis, who was a man of fervor and power, and died 
in the pastoral office of this church Mar. lo, 1864, in his fifty-seventh 
year. This new house has not witnessed such powerful revivals as did the 
former, many of the young people having left the country church and being 
found in the cities and villages all over the land. 

The men of God who served as deacons should be mentioned, — at least 
some of them, — but nearly all have fallen asleep. Of the following, the 
compiler remembers all except the first: Zebulon Brown (74), brother of 
Elder Simeon Brown; John Stanton (b. 1753), died in 1851, at the age of 
ninety-eight; Josiah Brown (279), son of Elder Simeon Brown; Josiah 
Brown, Jr. (304); Allen Wheeler (b. 1793); Cyrus W. Brown (253); Reu- 
ben W. York. The acting deacons in 1905 are: Horace F. York, Richard 
WTieeler, and C. L. Gray.

THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH, NO. STONINGTON, CONN. 

The Third Baptist Church was organized Dec. 25, 1828. The town of 
Stonington had been divided, and No. Stoningtoji had been set off from 
it in 1807. 

A committee of interested persons was appointed, Dec. 10, 1828, to 
adopt articles of faith for a contemplated church. The committee con- 
sisted of Samuel Chapman, Rev. Levi Walker, John F. Wheeler, and re- 
ported the articles of faith. They were adopted and remain unchanged. 
According to custom, a council was called for recognition of the body, and 
it met Dec. 25, 1828, approving the organization. The sermon was preached 
by Rev. Wm. Bentley. Others who took part in the recognition services 
were: Revs. John Gano Wightman, Wm. Palmer, Luther Godard, Benja- 
min M. Hill, Jabez S. Swan, Jonathan Miner, and Asher Miner. The 



557 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

eight persons who received letters from their churches were: Rev. Levi 
Walker, M.D., Samuel Chapman, David Holmes, Sally Wheeler, Phebe 
Walker, Lucy Chapman, Lucy Grant, and Emily Fanning. 

Three days after the recognition, the church received seven members by 
baptism, the ordinance being performed by Elder Jabez S. Swan; others 
united by letter and baptism, so that in June, 1829, when the church joined 
the Stonington Union Association, this new church reported thirty mem- 
bers and had several ministers as supplies, meeting at the schoolhouse. In 
1833 the membership was fifty. 

Urged by the growth of numbers and the demands of the community, 
the church and society in 1833 erected the present house of worship, then, 
as still, a beautiful and substantial sanctuary. In a few months the amount 
raised was $2,000. The roll of subscribers began with: Saxton Miner, $100; 
Thomas P. Wattles, $100; Deacon Ezra Miner, $100; Daniel Bentley, 
$100; Benjamin Hewitt, $125; Rufus Williams, $100; David Coats, $100. 

The lot, containing three-fourths of an acre of land, cost $125. The 
members of the society hold the property in trvist for the use and benefit 
of the Baptist denomination forever. 

The first acting pastor of this new church was Rev. Levi Walker, 
M.D. He was born in Massachusetts, moved to Maine, was converted in 
1804, and for a time was a Methodist circuit preacher. He afterwards be- 
came a Baptist and united with the First Baptist Church in Fall River, 
Mass. Mr. Walker studied medicine and entered upon his practice, mean- 
while continuing to preach, and became pastor of the Baptist Church in 
Warwick, R. I., in 18 16. He then became pastor of the Preston City Church, 
Conn., in 1819, and settled on a farm in No. Stonington in 1823. He 
preached with success in various districts, organizing the first Sunday 
school in the town and accomplishing much in his two professions. He 
died Dec. 12, 1869, aged eighty-five years and ten months. His three sons 
also went into the ministry. 

In 1834 Rev. Feronda Bestor became its pastor, and at that time the 
new church was dedicated. Mr. Bestor remained three years, and received 
thirty-eight by baptism, forty-five by letter. The church numbered at this 
time one hundred and twenty-eight. The church in 1837 entertained the 
Association for the first time, and Rev. Alfred Gates was the pastor and re- 
mained about one year. A special revival was enjoyed, and twenty-seven 
were admitted by baptism, and in 1837 the church numbered one hundred 
and fifty-two, with a Sabbath school of sixteen teachers and ninety pupils. 

Rev. Alfred Gates was born in Granville, N. Y., in 1803. He studied 
at Hamilton, N. Y., and was ordained at Willimantic, Conn., in 183 1. He 

558 



APPENDIX 

was pastor at Preston, Conn., and other churches. He died at Montville, 
Conn., Jan. 30, 1875. The church was supplied by several ministers until 
1842, when Rev. B. C. Grafton was called, under whose labors fifty-three 
were added by baptism. He remained about one year. Rev. Edward T. 
Hiscox, from Hamilton University, N. Y., supplied the church about six 
months, and was ordained Jan. 18, 1844, when he was called and removed 
to Westerly, R. I., Apr. 18, 1844. 

Rev. James R. Stone was his successor. The church was enrolled with 
one hundred and eighty-seven members. 

Levi Walker, Jr., was licensed to preach Dec. 18, 1829. Born in New 
Bedford, Mass., in 1811, he was converted in this town. After pastorates 
in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, he returned to No. Stonington, 
where he died in February, 1839, loved by all who knew him. 

A number of young men converted in this church became successful min- 
isters, I842-I848,^ among whom were Edwin D. Bentley, Ralph H. Maine, 
and William H. Randall. The latter, during the Civil War, recruited a 
company and entered the field as captain. For heroic conduct at Chancel- 
lorsville he was promoted to major; he also served his command as cap- 
tain. In 1865 he resumed the pastorate; but, failing in health, he sought 
restoration in Florida, but died Mar. 7, 1874, aged fifty-six years. 

During the pastorate of James R. Stone, on Oct. 18, 1846, another re- 
vival began, and continued through the following winter. On Oct. 18, 
1846, Cyrus H. Brown, Louisa A. Brown, Gideon P. Brown, and Maryette 
Bvirdick were baptized and received into the church. On Mar. 28, 1847, 
twenty-eight had been admitted into the church. The compiler retained 
his membership with this church ten years, removing to Boston in 1856, 
where he united with the Brighton Avenue Baptist Church, retaining 
membership there until 1898, when, removing from there to Westerly, 
R. I., he joined the Calvary Baptist Church. 

Rev. James R. Stone, afterwards Dr. Stone, after three years of service, 
severed his connection with this church, much to its regret. The next to 
come on the field was Daniel Henry Miller, a young man who came over from 
the Methodist to the Baptist faith. He received ordination Dec. 15, 1847. 
David Coates said of him, "He will be quite a preacher when he becomes 
a man; he is only a boy now." His ministry here, as in all his fields of la- 
bor, was marked with energy, ability, and success. The fortieth anniversary 
of his ministry was celebrated Dec. 15, 1887. Rev. George H. Miner said 
of his early pastorate with this people: " I seem to see a young man, tall and 
somewhat slender in form, with a commanding presence; bold and fearless, 
his voice impressive and solemn, full of reverential awe. Now in whis- 

559

pered tones he utters the most tender appeals and the sweetest comforts, 
and as the winds rise and sway the forest trees and shake the very earth, 
and the belching thunders pour forth their loud rumblings, and the sharp 
lightnings flash and the awful tempest is upon us, so his words alternate 
between the gentle and the awful, the tender and the dreadful." 

In April, 1849, Mr. Miller (since Dr. Miller) resigned his pastorate, 
much to the regret of the church, having pastorates in Yonkers, N. Y., 
Elizabeth, N. J., and Norwich, Conn. Dr. Miller was also chaplain in the 
Civil War. His successor was Rev. Orin T. Walker, of Martha's Vine- 
yard, Mass. 

It was a home-coming to Mr. Walker. His ministry commenced early 
in 1850, and continued until April, 1853. Many will recall his labors in the 
schoolhouses of Ashwillet. Mr. Walker's resignation was much regretted. 
He was called to New London, Conn., New Jersey, Boston, and Chicago. 

Rev. Thomas W. Clarke succeeded Mr. Walker. At this time the mem- 
bership was the largest at any time in its history, being two hundred and 
twenty-three. 

In 1853 the church lamented the death of David Coats, aged eighty-seven 
years. His descendants have a special record in this genealogy. 

Active in the church were Rev. Levi Walker, Benj. B. Hewitt, Ansel 
Coats, and John C. Coats, the constant and efficient church clerk for forty- 
eight years, Nathan Edgcomb and Thomas Edgcomb, Daniel Bentley, 
the Breeds, the Grants, the Stewarts, the Wheelers, the Hillards, and 
Ephraim W. Maine, Joseph Frink, Capt. Babcock, Deacon Cyrus W. 
Brown, Samuel Thompson, and good women not a few, whose records, 
with those of these good men, are now in the Book of Life. 

The pastors from 1856 to 1905 were: Henry W. Webber, Joseph Burnett, 
1857, Edgar A. Hewitt, i860, C. W. Ray, 1862, Samuel D. Ashley, 1868, 
J. W. Holman, 1870, Fenner B. Dickinson, 1874, William D. Morgan, 
1877, James D. Noble, 1878, W. W. Staples, 1880, J. Edred Jones, 1881, 
Daniel E. Easton, 1884, Edwin D. Bentley, 1888, Francis Purvis, 1891, 
C. Grant Savage, 1893, Richard Kemp, 1896, Frank D. Luddington, 1899, 
H. A. Calhoun, 1901, and Lucian Drury, 1904. 

Since the organization of the church only six have been chosen as dea- 
cons: John T. Wheeler, 1834, Ezra Miner, 1834, Benjamin T. BiUings, 
1875, Nelson A. Brown, 1875, William H. Hillard, 1888, and Nathan S. 
Edgcomb, 1888. 

The church has received a number of substantial bequests. From Miss 
Abby Miner the church was made her residuary legatee, receiving $2,343, 
in 1881. The church received in 1882, from the estate of Mrs. Mary A. 

560 



APPENDIX 

(Crandall) Gallup, widow of John Dean Gallup, $250, on the condition 
that the church raise an equal amount. In 1886 it received from the estate 
of Oliver Sisson $150. At this time the church took from its treasury $7 
to add to the fund, making a total of $3,000. From the estate of Mrs. 
Louisa (Palmer) Crandall, widow of Oliver S. Crandall, the church received 
$250. About 1870 B. F. Sisson, of Binghamton, N. Y., a native of the 
town, donated $100 toward a new bell for the church tower. 

While there were many very worthy families of whom honorable mention 
could be made in connection with the church, among others will be men- 
tioned John O. and Thomas W. Wheeler and wife, Emily Elizabeth 
(Brown) Wheeler and daughter, Nancy Mary Wheeler, wife of Deacon 
W. H. Hillard. They entertained and made a pleasant home for many 
ministers who came as supplies, and were also leaders of the singing in 
the church nearly all their lives. On the decease of Mrs. W. H. Hillard, 
she gave, in 1902, her piano to the church. At the decease of Mrs. WTieeler, 
Jan. 29, 1905, she made the church her residuary legatee, consisting mostly 
of her real estate, two houses and lands, pleasantly located in the village, 
requesting it to be sold, and the interest used as a perpetual fund for the 
church. 

The church should hold in grateful remembrance the fathers and moth- 
ers, the sons and daughters, who have consecrated their lives to the service 
of God. 



Appendix XI. 



HISTORY OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF BROOK- 
FIELD, N. Y. 

One of the principal promoters of this church was Simeon Brown, Jr., 
son of Elder Simeon Brown, of Stonington, Conn. He received a license 
to preach in 1775, being the first who had been granted a license from that 
church. 

He emigrated from Stonington, Conn., May, 1792, with his wife and 
children in an ox-cart. This family and others coming from Stonington 
from time to time were a nucleus from which this church was formed, 
June 28, 1798. 

Twenty people met together to consider the organization of a Baptist 
church. After drawing up articles of faith, the First Church of Christ in 
Brookfield, N. Y., was organized, Oct. 12, 1799. There in the wild woods 

561 



THE BROWN GENEALOGY 

and amid howling beasts of prey was erected an altar for the worship of 
God. This young church began holding meetings with their spiritual 
leader and recognized head in the log house of the minister, Elder Simeon 
Brown, Jr., and there was much interest shown among the scattered set- 
tlers. After a few years a meeting-house was built, making a more attract- 
ive and comfortable church home for the people. Elder Brown was the 
pastor until his death, Aug. i8, 1826. In 1837 a new meeting-house was 
built, to be used together with the Seventh Day Baptist people of Clark- 
ville, which is occupied still by both churches in 1905. 

This Brookfield Baptist Church has ordained nine pastors and licensed 
twelve to preach the gospel. It has alw^ays had a Deacon Brown since its 
organization, but one person of that name holding that position at the 
same time. During its existence it has always observed monthly communion 
service. In September, 1801, the church joined the Otsego Baptist Asso- 
ciation, always being regular in its representatives and delegates. Thus by 
strong faith in God from the beginning, for sixscore years this church has 
flourished and is still holding forth the word of life. 

The following extracts are from reminiscences of Elder Brown read at 
the Centennial Celebration of this church, July 7, 1898: 

"In personal appearance Elder Brown was more than medium height 
and well proportioned, being of strong build. He had light brown hair 
worn moderately long in thin locks, eyes blue, shaded with heavy eyebrows 
and a massive forehead, always clean shaven, and a pleasing expression. 
He was fond of the chase, and in his later years would ride to a known fox 
trail and often do good shooting in the saddle. 

"When he became too feeble to leave his home he held evening services 
in his own house. His last sermon was preached at his house while sitting 
in his chair, being too feeble to stand." 

This church has had in one hundred and seven years nineteen pastors, 
from its organization in 1798 to 1905. The longest pastorates were Rev. 
Simeon Brown, Jr., from 1798 to 1826, and Rev. Holland Turner, from 
1835 to 1845. 

The ordinations in this church were: Rev. Simeon Brown, Jr., Oct. 14, 
1800; Rev. Joshua Wells, Oct. 18, 1815; Thomas Dye; G. B. Perry, Mar. 
5, 1823; Peter Latimer, May 31, 1827; Ferris Scott, July 20, 1858; O.N. 
Fletcher, Nov. i, 1866; A. V. B. Crumb, Aug. 23, 1876, missionary to Bur- 
mah; R. J. Thompson, Aug. 15, 1883. 

The Deacons, from organization to 1905, were: Daniel Maine, Nathan 
Brown, Bell Lewis, Wait Clarke, Samuel Browne, Thomas E. Craine, George 
Crumb, Morgan L. Brown, Don F. Maine, Avory Cole.
